Chapter 131 Play For Me
“I’m fine.” As he spoke, accompanied by violent coughing, Austin looked even paler.
Cameron said, “You must be tired. Go back to the dormitory and have a rest.”
Austin took out the pills from his pocket and threw them into his mouth. “I’m okay. I’ll be fine after taking a pill.”
Cameron was silent. In the end, she didn’t expose that the pill Austin took was just an ordinary vitamin lozenge.
Then, she didn’t say anything more and walked toward the dormitory building.
Elijah was as taciturn as before. He didn’t say much, but he reached out his hand to Austin and said, “Let me carry that guitar for you.”
“Thank you. I can manage it myself,” Austin said.
Elijah nodded and didn’t insist. He followed Cameron. Austin, on the other hand, leaned against the wall, coughing as he caught up with them.
Cameron opened the door of the dormitory. At that time, Bradley was half lying on the bed reading a book, still Essential Skills for Attorneys.,
“Welcome back.” Seeing Cameron come back, he greeted her with a smile.
After nodding, Cameron also couldn’t help but smile. Then she went straight to the
bathroom to take a shower.
“Good evening, Brad.” Elijah greeted Bradley and then went back to his own desk. Out of habit, he opened the exercise book to check if there were any questions he didn’t understand so that he could ask Cameron later.
Austin came back two minutes later. He was pale, with the guitar on his right shoulder. As soon as he entered the dormitory, he coughed twice.
Bradley looked at him and said, “Aus, did you go singing again?”
After nodding, Austin carefully put the guitar down.
Bradley closed the book and said, “You’re not in good health. You should take good care of yourself. Singing can be very tiring.”
Austin smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern, but I really like singing. Although it’s tiring, I’m very happy.”
Bradley adjusted his gold–rimmed glasses and nodded slightly. Austin seldom came to the dormitory, and Bradley wasn’t very familiar with him, so he didn’t plan to continue the conversation.
Successfully unlocked!
With a bang, the slightly ajar dormitory door was forcefully smashed open with a basketball.
Just then, Cameron came out of the bathroom, and her hair was still wet. The

basketball narrowly missed her and hit the floor–to–ceiling window glass behind her. Fortunately, the window was of good quality and remained intact even though it was
shaken.
Xander was wearing a white school uniform T–shirt, sweating all over, and looking very unhappy.
He thought, ‘The game is coming up soon, and those bastards on the school team. haven’t made any progress these days. If we lose to Horizon Academy then, I’ll be so ashamed.‘
In his life so far, Xander had only lost to Cameron. Just thinking about losing to Cameron made Xander angry, so he gave Cameron a fierce glare.
In confusion, Cameron glanced at him. She thought he was acting crazy, so she didn’t bother to argue with him. Instead, she stood in front of the sink and dried her wet hair.
Xander sat in front of the table with a dark face, propping his chin with his palm, looking both annoyed and solemn.
Austin asked him with concern, “Xander, what’s wrong? Why so unhappy?”
Xander said, “Leave me alone.”
After being shocked for a few seconds, Austin lowered his eyes, and a trace of disgust flashed in his amber eyes.
He hated it the most when someone talked to him in a bossy way, and almost everyone in his family could talk to him like that. Thinking of this, Austin couldn’t help but clench his hands placed on his knees.
After Cameron dried her hair, when she passed by Xander, Xander suddenly stretched out his foot. She frowned. She could have walked around, but instead, she chose to
step on Xander’s instep.
“Ouch!” Xander cried out in pain.
Cameron lifted her foot and said, “Sorry.”
Xander withdrew his foot and glared at her. “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
Cameron said, “If you hadn’t deliberately stretched your foot out, how could I have had the chance to step on it?”
Xander retorted, “Cameron! You stepped on me. Will you take my place in next month’s basketball game?”
With a puzzled expression, Cameron was at a loss for words.
