Ivy nodded. "Will youe hon the weekends?"
"Of course. | haven'te to a consensus with Dad yet, but that doesn’t mean that | can just ignore all the love he has showered
better in time."
"Layla, let's go for a walk! It's not hot outside." Ivy glanced out the window and realized that it was a good tfor a leisurely
stroll.
"Sure. Givea few more pieces of candy. They taste pretty nice."
Layla reached out for scandy, and Ivy gave her all the candy she had bought. "I bought them for you, anyways."

"Layla, a guy casking for my number after class today," Ivy said, hoping to distract Layla by discussing another topic.
Layla raised an eyebrow. "Is he good-looking? What's your impression of him?"
"lI don't even want to befriend any guys, but he followedall the way to the university entrance. Brian was waiting for me
outside the gates and | needed to get rid of that guy, so | ended up giving him my number."
"Aren't you worried that he will keep bothering you? You need to stand firm if you are not interested. If he follows you again, tell
him to get lost.
Ivy grew up with her grandmother constantly telling her not to anger others, and she had not thought to do what Layla had said.
"I'll tell him to go away the next the follows me," Ivy said.
"Yeah. Don't worry about a thing. We will all be your shield, so no one will bully you." Layla wanted Ivy to be stronger so that she
would not be taken advantage of.
Ivy hummed in response, before noticing that she had received a friend request on her social media from the boy.
Layla glanced at the screen on her phone.
"Maybe I'll just ignore him," Ivy said.
"If you ignore him, he might start calling you. Just make him give up now," Layla said before snatching Ivy's phone and accepting
the request.
The boy immediately sent a message. [Hi, Ivy! | heard that you don't stay on campus. | thought that it waspulsory to stay in
the dorms. How did you manage to escape that?]
Layla replied expressionlessly. [If you are that good at digging into other people's backgrounds, can't you find out why as well?]
[I heard that from our classmates, and what they know is limited. Are you related to the dean or something? | can afford an
apartment away from campus, too, but the university won't allowto stay there. So, | have to stay at the dorms.]
[You sure seem to know a lot about me. Are you trying to look into my family background, too? Should | bring you my birth
certificate or something?]

[Don't be upset. I'm just curious. You are from here, and | assthat youe from a rather wealthy family, too, right? | really
like you, and if we do end up together, | will bring you hto meet my parents. They are kind of dead set on findinga wife of
equal standing, though.]
[What does your family do?]
[We produce canned goods.]
[What's the nof the factory?]
The boy sent over the nof his family factory and Layla immediately looked into it.
"Layla, maybe | should do the talking! He seems a little clueless." Ivy took her phone back.
"I'm holding back because | don't want him to target you at school." Had Layla said what she wanted to say, she would have
"lI have an idea that will get him to give up," Ivy said with a smile before replying to the boy's message. [|e from a really poor
family, and we are deep in debt. If you insist on getting together with me, my parents are definitely going to make you pay off our
debt. Also, | have two older brothers who haven't even gotten married yet..."
