Just as he was about to exin, a tall, imposing man in a ck suit suddenly appeared.


    "Juniper, do you know him?"


    The man naturally took Juniper''s hand, his deep eyes fixed on the boy. He radiated an intimidating aura, like a deity descended to earth, warning everyone to keep their distance.


    Seeing their intimate gesture, the boy faltered, a flicker of disappointment crossing his youthful face. This must be the legendary boyfriend of his goddess. His clothes and demeanor were clearly not those of an ordinary person. He nced down at himself—a in white t-shirt, ck sneakers, and a timid posture. There was noparison.


    "Yes," Juniper replied to Shanley, exining in a low voice, "He''s the one who left the box for me in the school parking lot and then ran off."


    It was him! Shanley remembered now. Publicly confessing to Juniper-the kid had guts!


    "What do you want with her?" After hearing Juniper''s exnation, Shanley''s gaze turned on the boy, his eyes glinting with a murderous light. Even if he wasn''t an assassin from the Huntsman Institute, he was still someone with designs on Juniper. And being so young, he was a threat that couldn''t be underestimated.


    "No, no, no!" The boy was so frightened by Shanley''s menacing aura that he could barely speak, his face pale. "I wasn''t following Juniper. It was just a coincidence. I came here with my ssmates today, I swear!"


    When he saw their disbelieving looks, he quickly added, "I only followed you because I wanted to see what her boyfriend looked like. I wasn''t going to do anything."


    As he spoke, his voice grew quieter. "If you don''t believe me, I can call my ssmates over to prove it."


    "Oh." Seeing that he wasn''t lying, Juniper pursed her lips and said nonchntly, "As long as that''s the case. Otherwise, I would have broken your legs."


    Her words were spoken calmly, but the boy couldn''t help but shiver. Wow, Juniper was terrifying!


    "No, I wasn''t," the boy said, a mixture of fear and admiration in his eyes.


    "Alright," Juniper said, not wanting to make things difficult for him. "It was a misunderstanding. My apologies."


    As the two of them turned to leave, the boy couldn''t stop himself from calling out, "Juniper!"


    Juniper paused and looked back at him, puzzled.


    "Is he..." The boy bit his lip, his eyes slightly red as he asked cautiously, "Is this gentleman your boyfriend?"


    After his confession was rejected,, rumors had spread that his goddess had a boyfriend. He had hoped they were just rumors, giving hima chance to try again.


    Her boyfriend? Juniper tilted her head slightly, her clear eyes ncing at the man beside her.


    Shanley remained silent, his eyes fixed on her, a hint of grievance on his handsome face.


    After a few seconds of silence, Juniper looked back at the boy awaiting her answer and said calmly and seriously, "Yes. He''s my boyfriend."


    Shanley''s head snapped toward Juniper. He maintained his


    "What?" the innocent college boy asked again in disbelief.


    "You didn''t hear?" Shanley shot a cold look at the boy, then looked down slightly, his voice full of smug satisfaction Allow me to introduce myself tam Juniper''s boyfriend"
