"Stanley, we have met before!" Wendy dered.


    Had they really met before?


    Yet, Stanley couldn''t recall a thing. When had he ever seen her?


    Still, there was something about Wendy that felt so familiar-something that always seemed to pull him toward her, making him want to get closer to her without even realizing


    1. it.


    "We actually..."

    Wendy reached for her neck, hoping to pull out the crystal pendant Stanley had given her. However, she couldn''t find it.


    It was then she remembered that she had left it in her room.


    "Stanley, wait here. I''ll be right back with something." Wendy quickly got up and ran off.


    Stanley watched her leave, his mind swirling. What was she going to get?


    Wendy rushed back to the hotel and entered her room. She retrieved the crystal pendant and held it in her palm.


    Would Stanley recognize it? Would seeing this pendant help him remember their past? Would Stanley remember her?


    She wanted to try.


    Wendy hurried back to the ski resort. From a distance, she saw Stanley still standing where she had left him, waiting for her.


    She was about to run over to him when her footsteps suddenly froze. She saw the figure of a woman standing next to him-Jessica had arrived.


    Jessica had flown in from Hovendale, and was now standing right beside Stanley.

    Wendy stopped in her tracks, the warmth she had felt earlier extinguished in an instant. She suddenly felt a little foolish.


    He didn''t remember her. How could she have thought the crystal pendant would bring back


    his memories?


    She was just someone insignificant. If she were important, he wouldn''t have forgotten her.


    The woman he loved was Jessica, and she was already standing there beside him.


    Wendy lowered her gaze, her fingers tightly clutching the crystal pendant in her hand. She forced a self-deprecating smile.


    Forget it.


    She turned to leave.


    But then, she froze again. There was someone standing behind her, and she jumped in


    surprise.


    It was Benny.


    Benny had arrived.


    At the Summit Academic Forum, Benny had discovered that the dream girl he had admired


    for so long was actually Wendy, and the bouquet of red roses he had been


    holding had dropped to the ground.


    Even now, he still couldn''te to terms with reality.


    The Wendy he had always disliked, the one he had looked down on, was not only


    the genius freshman, but also the woman he had been wanting to pursue.


    Wendy turned to Benny. "Benny, what are you doing here? And why are you standing behind me without saying anything?"


    Benny''s eyes were dark and stormy. "Wendy, are you really that genius?"

    At the mention of this, Wendy raised an eyebrow and walked up to him with a sly


    smile. "I''ve already told you your dream girl doesn''t like red roses.


    Her eyes sparkled with amusement, almost as if she were mocking him.


    Benny''s expression darkened.


    "See you around."


    Wendy stopped talking and turned to walk away.


    Benny stood still, watching her figure disappear.


    Ahead of her, Stanley hadn''t expected Jessica to follow him here. "What are you doing


    here?"


    "Am I not allowed toe? Why didn''t you answer my calls? Zayn said you were here on


    business, but I found out Wendy came to Feirwale to see the snow with someone else. Isn''t it a little too coincidental? Did you follow Wendy here?" Jessica asked, her voice sharp.


    Stanley pursed his lips. "I need to ask Wendy something."


    "What is it?"


    "I think I''ve met Wendy before."


    What?


    Jessica''s heart skipped a beat. Had Stanley found out about something?
