That way, they could not avoid physical contact.
The faint scent of soap from Kendrix's body wafted into Sylvia's nostrils.
He smelled very clean, and it was mixed with Kendrix's own scent. There was not a hint of sweat at all.
Sylvia took a deep breath and immortalized the smell in her memory, not wanting to forget it.
Kendrix stiffened when Sylvia passed underneath his arms, and he managed to detect the faint hint of jasmine from her body.
He was stuck in a daze when Sylvia entered the house.
Pursing his lips, he closed the door.
Sylvia found that Kendrix's apartment was neat and tidy.
She was a little surprised.
Kendrix was not here for long, but he had cleaned up the place very well.
Sylvia was of the opinion that a man's room would surely be messy. What she saw made her view
Kendrix in a different light.
She knew that the person she liked was bound to be excellent in every aspect.
She turned and faced Kendrix.
Kendrix looked cold and rather indifferent.
The room was quiet.
He stood at the door and did not go further into the apartment.
Although the door was closed, he looked rather imposing as he stood there, making Sylvia nervous.
Sylvia took a deep breath and broke the silence first.
"I asked you a question just now, but you haven't answered."
"What question?" Kendrix asked coldly.
"You promised me that if I got first place in this test, you would agree to one of my requests. You didn't forget about that, right?" Sylvia mustered up her courage to ask.
"I haven't forgotten." Kendrix answered softly.
"Are you going to fulfill your promise?" Sylvia asked, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Kendrix was silent, and his face remained expressionless. However, his gaze was piercing.
Especially when he looked at Sylvia. She was not sure if she had mistaken it, but something felt different about Kendrix.
However, she could not put her finger on it.
Perhaps it was just intuition.
Sylvia stood in front of him, waiting for an answer. However, Kendrix did not seem like he wanted to say anything.
Sylvia steeled herself again and said, "I'll take your silence as agreement, then."
Kendrix raised his eyebrows.
Sylvia continued, "My request is that you can't have a girlfriend or be with any other woman for the next five years."
Kendrix's dark eyes bored right into Sylvia's. "That sounds like more than one request."
"It's just one. Plus, I said it all at once, so it counts as one," Sylvia replied.
"That's too much," answered Kendrix.
"I don't think it's too much," Sylvia replied stubbornly. "It's not against the law nor unethical, so it's fine."
"What happens after the five years is up?" Kendrix asked.
"I'll come and see you after I graduate." Sylvia pursed her lips, blushing even harder.
Kendrix fixed his steady gaze on Sylvia.
Sylvia lowered her head, not brave enough to hold up under Kendrix's scrutiny.
Due to that, she missed the sad look that crossed Kendrix's face.
