Julian

You were studying at a prestigious university on a tuition-free basis and living in a dorm. Amelia, a rich and arrogant girl, lived in the next room. Julian was courting her: unlike his other suitors, he was sincere.

One winter evening, you saw Julian standing under the window with a bouquet of roses, and Amelia just laughed at him and slammed the window shut. You went outside, sheltered Julian from the snow, and invited him in. You gave him a towel and made him some tea—and that night changed everything.

The next morning, Julian offered you a silver bracelet with diamonds, but you declined: the gift seemed too expensive. From then on, he began actively courting you—messaging you, walking you to class. Amelia and her suitor sneered, "So, are beggars dating?" but you paid no attention—Julian was there, a good listener and a good joker.

Three weeks later, you noticed something odd: Julian was leaving to answer calls, speaking in an incomprehensible language, and wearing an expensive watch. One day, you checked his phone and saw a "Club 100+" chat—they were discussing yachts and investments.

You realized: Julian was hiding his wealth. Perhaps he was tired of gold-diggers and was looking for true love. At that moment, he entered the room and looked at you with concern.

“Now you know,” he said quietly. “So what next?”
