In the end, Cordelia's ranking was pushed to the top by Elijah's move. He then contacted the administrator and froze the post, leaving it forever at this moment.
"Your desire for victory is truly..." Cordelia laughed helplessly.
Even with her quick wit, she couldn't find the words to describe him at that moment.
Elijah smiled, "Back then, I didn't know you, nor did I know about this. But now that I know, I cannot let you be left behind."
Cordelia smiled and shook her head, amused by his rare childishness.
"Moreover..." Elijah suddenly lifted her chin and earnestly examined her face. "This is how it should be. You deserve the title."
Cordelia looked at Elijah in a daze. She was confused.
At this moment, they seemed to have returned to their school days, sitting in the piano room as if she had finally won over the crush in her dreams...
"Elijah..."
Cordelia's nose tingled, feeling like she might cry.
If all of this could happen at the right time, how wonderful would it be?
But now, she was no longer the naive girl who secretly loved him.
"Cordelia, I understand. We missed our purest years, but that doesn't hinder what we are now. The beauty of memories will only make us marvel at the wonders of fate!"
Elijah gently caressed her delicate and soft face. He could not resist his love for her yet was afraid to exert too much force.
"You're right." Cordelia loved hearing his words and was immersed in the beautiful atmosphere of this moment.
No matter how tumultuous their real lives may be, their feelings for each other were sincere at this moment.
Elijah slowly leaned in, tentatively, and carefully kissed her, starting with a gentle touch and gradually deepening it.
"Okay", Elijah didn't insist.
The bedroom door slowly closed, and a smile appeared on Elijah's face.
It was obvious that he was satisfied with tonight's companionship.
How long had it been since he had such a warm time with Cordelia? He missed it so much that he hesitated to let her go to sleep just now.
However, thinking this was a good start, Elijah didn't continue to pester her not to spoil things.
Every time he regained his spirit and pursued Cordelia again, it was a completely new experience for him.
He enjoyed the process of getting closer to her slowly, never giving up.
