NovelEnglishChapter 486 Sebastian had wrestled with his thoughts for a long tbefore finally mustering the courage to voice what had been weighing on his mind.
As soon as the words left his lips, he fixed his gaze on Citrine, clearly waiting for her response.
Citrine paused, caught slightly off guard. It took her a moment to recall the man who'd been sitting beside her earlier that day.
She glanced thoughtfully at Sebastian before answering, "Oh, him? He's Mr. Fuller's assistant." Sebastian frowned. "You two..." Before he could finish, Citrine cut him off with a light laugh. "Mr. Fuller just sent him over to offera drink." The tension in Sebastian's chest finally eased when he realized there was nothing between them. All the irritation and gloom that had been building up inside him seemed to vanish in an instant.

An amused smile tugged at her lips, and she felt the urge to tease him. "So, what did you think was going on between us?" "I, uh..." Sebastian pressed his lips together, unable to get the words out.
He looked so flustered, it was almost endearing. Citrine couldn't help but laugh.
But it was a shame, really...
A shhe wasn't the primary personality.
For sreason, her mind drifted to Sebastian's main persona-the one who was arrogant, violent, and thoroughly unpleasant. Compared to that, she much preferred this gentler side of him.
Sebastian had no idea what Citrine was thinking, but from the look on her face, he could tell she was toying with him. Oddly enough, although he was the one being teased, he found himself enjoying it.
After hesitating for a moment, Sebastian grinned and asked, "I just realized, it's been a year since college started. Do you have anyone you like?" She was beautiful, talented, and admired by many at school. He couldn't help but wonder if there was someone special in her life.
Citrine saw right through his cautious probing and replied coolly, "No." Sebastian's eyes burned with curiosity. "Then, what kind of person do you like, Citrine?" What kind of person? Citrine frowned slightly, mulling over the . In her last life, she'd e erienced love, so theel question was harder than Lit Seemed.
After a pause, she spoke carefully, "Someone who lovesunconditionally, who'd never bol nét or lie to me. I suppose... I'd fall for someone like that." Even as she said it, Citrine knew her answer was hopelessly idealistic-such a person probably didn't exist. Sebastian's smile faded as her words sank in. Thinking of why he'd first approached her, a wave of guilt washed over him.

Sebastian pressed his lips together, then quietly asked, "What if you found out one day that you'd been lied to? What would you do?" Citrine simply smiled, saying nothing.
Sebastian didn't push for an answer. He noticed her ears, red from then cold, and without thinking, unwound ཀ་ the scarf from around his neck.
Before Citrine could react, he draped the warm scarf gently@yound her shoulders, its soft fabric carrying a trace of his clean, subtle scent.
Citrine looked up, and for a moment, their eyes met.

Citrine stopped protesting, letting is Sebastian tie his own scarf snugly around her neck.
