Chapter 17 - Chapter 9: Stockholm Syndrome (Part 2)

With such "a unique bloom," who else could hold the title of the campus flower but her?

At the start of college, it's the time when male students' hormones are at their peak.

At this time, no matter that Tina is only overweight in body but not in face, even if she were both ugly and fat, she'd still have countless suitors.

Do you want to know how a not-so-good-looking girl garners affection from many?

Changing your fate with plastic surgery? That's too risky, not to mention expensive, with more downsides than upsides. It's not a one-time fix.

Did you learn anything from the campus flower, who dumped Sean Lowell fifty times?

Want to know how an ugly, broke guy becomes the center of attention for many girls?

If you're already in college, there's basically no way out.

If you're not, congratulations, you have a chance to change your fate.

Girls can choose a major with a gender ratio of more than or equal to 100:1.

Boys can look for a major with a gender ratio of less than or equal to 1:100.

In such majors, as long as you're of the opposite sex, you'll naturally be the center of attention.

Compared to other colleges or majors where the opposite sex can't even take classes together,

the opposite sex in your major is like a precious treasure.

Being a little chubby, short, ugly, or out of shape doesn't matter.

Among a hundred of the opposite sex, not one could likely see your "extraordinary" soul through your "slightly ordinary" appearance.

In a "monk school" with a 299:1 ratio, Sean Lowell was confessed to by the campus flower on the first day of college right after setting foot in the building, leaving no room for the remaining 298 guys.

Couldn't all of them really become monks, right?

Tina was having a fight with her boyfriend, so she chose to randomly confess to someone at the school entrance; if Gordon Sterling had walked through the doors then... uh... let's not imagine that.

Sean Lowell didn't know the backstory of Tina's actions; he only knew it was the first time since he was seven that a woman treated him tenderly.

Sean immediately placed Tina in the position of someone he wanted to be with for life.

Without knowing the cause or considering the consequences, Sean pushed himself step by step into the depths of Stockholm syndrome.

Sean found his problem in the sudden hit series "My Roommate Dumped by the Same Girl Fifty Times."

It took him three days and nights to realize one thing.

Staying in the same environment, he'd inevitably persuade himself with the same reasoning, making it impossible to move on from this "relationship."

Sean chose to drop out and start a new life in an isolated place.

Sean didn't discuss it with his father, Finn Lowell; he just dropped out directly.

Because besides a campus flower girlfriend who treated him as a backup, he also had an abusive father.

From childhood to adulthood, Sean never got any acknowledgment from his father.

Besides physical punishment, there was only cold indifference.

Sean was still grateful his father hadn't abandoned him.

Outsiders couldn't understand the heart of a boy trapped in Stockholm syndrome, extremely eager for recognition.

The Dump Me Alliance fans said The Jilted is calm and professional, quiet and word-loving, but they never saw Sean before he was seven.

His smile was so bright, and his words flowed abundantly.

Just like now, Sean is drunk in the soundproof glass room.

Clear, quiet, without worry, as if he'd wake up smiling in the next moment.

Leo Vaughn rushed to the soundproof glass room to check on Sean, but Gordon Sterling got there first.

Gordon stood outside the glass room, without entering, stopping Leo from nervously opening the soundproof room door to check on Sean.

Gordo shifted his slightly agile, chubby body to block the lights from the venue for Sean, then turned to Leo with a jiggling chin, saying, "Let the dude sleep for a while."

"Will Master Sean Lowell be okay lying there like that?" This was the worry of The Nation's Gentleman.

"I could stand dead, and he'd still sleep through it." Gordon's words were harsh, but his actions to shield Sean from the light were warm.

"I've never seen Master Sean Lowell drink before, didn't know it could get this serious." The Nation's Gentleman was genuinely worried.

"I've never seen him drink either when analyzing spirits, thought he had evolved." Gordon rolled his eyes ever so slightly, remarking, "How did he just fall asleep? Why not throw in some stomach bleeding, intestinal bleeding, or brain hemorrhage?"

"Should we call an ambulance?" Leo was startled by Gordon's words.

"It's nothing! Back in school, our handsome self saw him forced to drink once by the brewing techniques professor, and he still had that spring-like look afterward."

"Did he end up like this after drinking?"

"Yeah, he should wake up in about half an hour. If you're not in a rush, can we wait for him a bit?" Off the live room, Gordon wasn't Gordo, who had to be funny in every statement.

Three grown men. One asleep, one blocking the light, and the other expressing boundless concern.

Men's friendship has never been like women's, needing hand-holding and affectionate names to confirm their relationship.

The content of Gordon's words to Leo might have sounded like scolding Sean, but his subconscious actions don't lie.

However, Gordo's heavyweight "sweetness" failed to achieve the expected result.

As Gordon busied himself explaining to Leo that Sean was really just asleep,

The Devilish Lolita, waiting endlessly for Leo to return,

pouted her cheeks and swayed her enchanting body back to the gala to find her brother.

Artie Vaughn glanced at Leo and Gordon outside the glass room, then at Sean inside, sleeping with satisfaction, and instantly recalled the timeless wisdom that "grudges should not be left overnight."

An extremely sly smile silently crept onto The Pouting Siren's, The Devilish Lolita's face.
