Taking Selena to the school for registration

"Why didn't you refuse?" Selena glared at Jake, annoyed.

"Why should I refuse?" Jake replied, looking back at Selena.

As it turned out, Selena had to register at the school today, and Lisa was supposed to accompany her. However, Lisa still had unfinished business to attend to, so she had to ask Jake to help escort Selena. Jake didn't refuse Lisa's request, which made Selena unhappy.

"I don't need you to accompany me! I can go by myself," Selena said. Princeton University wasn't far from here, and Selena could indeed go alone. She didn't want much contact with Jake in the first place, so she naturally didn't want him to accompany her.

"I've already promised Lisa, so I will definitely take you there," Jake said. "Don't worry, after I drop you off, I'll come back."

"I don't need it!" Selena said, pushing her suitcase and heading out.

Jake shrugged, closed the door, and followed behind Selena. Selena knew that Jake was following her, but she ignored him and walked ahead on her own. Princeton University was already bustling with returning students and incoming freshmen. As Selena watched the students coming and going on campus, her face, which was still upset with Jake, began to smile, filled with anticipation for her upcoming college life.

"Are you a freshman? I'm a senior. Let me help you with your things," a male student offered.

"Let me do it. I'm familiar with the campus. I'll take you to register," another student chimed in.

While Selena was still observing the campus environment, a few male students approached her with enthusiasm, which startled her.

"No need, we know the way," Jake walked up from behind, took the suitcase from Selena's hand, and stood in front of her, facing the other students.

"Are you also here to welcome the freshmen?" the students asked Jake, their expressions turning a bit unpleasant.

"I'm not," Jake shook his head. "I'm her brother, and I'll take care of her. You don't need to trouble yourselves."

As a graduate student who didn't attend Princeton University, Jake knew that every year when freshmen registered, the school would assign senior students to welcome them and guide them. This was the usual practice in every school. Initially, it wasn't a big deal, but if they encountered a female student, especially an attractive one, it would be different. Seniors would typically show extra "enthusiasm" in such situations.

Selena clearly fell into the category of an attractive female student, even one at the top tier. So it wasn't strange for her to attract so many seniors who enthusiastically offered their help.

Upon hearing that Jake was Selena's brother, the expressions of the male students instantly improved. "It's your first time here, right? You must not be familiar with the place. Let me take you there to save time," one of them offered.

"Our school is quite big, and it's easy to get lost without someone to guide you. Let me take you to register. By the way, what's your major?" Another student chimed in.

Apparently, these male students were still reluctant to give up this opportunity. When they spoke, their eyes involuntarily glanced at Selena.

Princeton University had its fair share of female students, but beautiful ones were still a minority. Selena belonged to the top tier of beauty, and encountering such a stunning woman naturally made male classmates, especially the single ones, eager to impress. If they could get her contact information, that would be even better.

Initially, Selena was reluctant when she heard Jake call himself her brother, and she was about to retort. However, when she saw the "hungry wolves" surrounding her, she held back her words. Although Jake was annoying, his gaze was much better than theirs. At least he didn't make her feel nervous.

"No need. I've been here before, and I'm familiar with the place," Jake said, grabbing Selena's hand and walking forward. Jake was indeed familiar with the campus. He had been coming here almost every day for the past year, so he knew exactly where to go for registration. The male students, upon hearing Jake's response, had no choice but to give up.

However, when they looked at Selena, their eyes were filled with regret. Encountering such a stunning beauty, but being unable to get close to her, left an itching feeling for anyone. "I wonder what major she's in. She's definitely campus beauty material."

"Yeah, I wonder if she has a boyfriend."

"She probably doesn't. Otherwise, why would her brother be the one accompanying her?"

"Is that guy really her brother? They don't look alike to me. Could they be dating?"

"I think they're a couple. Otherwise, why would they hold hands?"

"Holding hands means they're a couple now? If they were really dating, why wouldn't they admit it? If I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I would want everyone to know and make others give up."

"Yeah, it's a pity we didn't get her contact information." The male students watched Jake and Selena's figures and whispered their discussions.

"You... Let go of me!" Selena blushed, untangling her hand from Jake's, looking at him with a mix of embarrassment and anger. When Jake held her hand earlier, her mind went blank. It was her first time being held by someone of the hold hand other than her father, and she didn't expect Jake to be so audacious. At that moment, her mind went blank, and she let Jake hold her hand until they had walked some distance before snapping back to reality and quickly shaking off Jake's hand.

"Sorry, I was just worried they would bother us," Jake said apologetically. He indeed didn't think much about it earlier, but now he realized that what he did was a bit reckless.

"You pervert! I'm going to tell Aunt!" Selena glared at Jake, unwilling to believe his explanation.

"I really didn't mean it."Jake explained, "As you saw, they were being so enthusiastic. If I hadn't held your hand and walked away, I don't think we would have been able to get away from them."

"You're just like them, birds of a feather!" Selena retorted.

Jake felt embarrassed. It seemed that his image in Selena's mind had completely collapsed. Just then, a familiar figure approached Jake and said, "You didn't come to exercise this morning?"

"Yeah, um, I was held up by something," Jake stammered. Jake didn't expect to encounter Wendy here, and moreover, she initiated a conversation with him.

Because of Lisa's arrival this morning, Jake didn't have time to go exercise. However, how did Wendy know about it?

Being surrounded by two beautiful women all of a sudden, Jake became the center of attention for the people around him. The women were curious, and the men were envious.
