Bring Your A Game, Mr

It seemed that only this weekend of hers was entirely his, and he was not sure how long it would be until the next time. When he was in a trance, Elise suddenly stopped and mumbled to herself, “I brought a suitcase with me when we left, right?” Alexander smiled helplessly. When they got out of the car, the two of them only remembered to hold hands, and they really forgot to take the suitcase. He let go of her hand reluctantly and naturally pinched the tip of her nose. “Wait at the door of the dormitory. I’ll go get it.” After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked back. Elise stood there.

After watching Alexander’s figure disappear around the corner, she continued to walk forward. As soon as she stepped into the stone arch of the girls’ dormitory, there was a loud bang, then the sound of confettis sounded from all directions. Ribbons slowly fell from the sky, covering her all over. “Congratulations, Elise!” “Welcome back, Erudite Elise!” “Elise, you are amazing. You are my idol!” “Woohoo!” Elise was a little confused by their enthusiasm and smiled awkwardly. “Thank you!” As she spoke, she removed the confettis hanging from her body. “But, what are you guys congratulating me about?” “You still don’t know?”

Addison said excitedly. “Professor Merlin has applied for the highest-level mathematics award in the country for you, and you’ve passed the preliminary examination—you would be the first female winner of this award!” “Yeah, it’s amazing!” Elise still didn’t understand what was going on. “Y-You must have heard it wrong.

It can’t be wrong!” Addison stepped forward to take her arm and said firmly. “It was announced on the bulletin board of our department, so who else could it be but you? Besides, how could I have mistaken your face?

someone exclaimed. Addison was always a straightforward person. Without putting too much thought into what that person said, she took it seriously. “Why is it scary? How is it scary? I just want everyone to know that I, Addison, don’t make friends based on their appearance. It’s not always about the face, but the actual strength.

Like a frightened bird, she hid behind the crowd. “Oh, please spare me from this torture.” The crowd burst in laughter again. Janice’s brain was filled with the echoing laughter, and she couldn’t bear it any longer. Immediately, she rushed over to the crowd and shouted hysterically, “Enough is

of your way to gossip here? Do you want me to get you a loudspeaker?!” Janice was so worked up that her spit was flying around, and some of them got on Elise accidentally. Elise raised her hand in disgust to wipe the saliva off her cheeks and frowned slightly, feeling nauseated in her heart. Addison couldn’t bear it any longer, so she stepped forward to argue with Janice. “Why are you acting all crazy here, woman?!”

to remain calm. “Janice, if I may, what did I do to provoke you again this time?” Janice felt guilty all of a sudden and tried to blame it all on Elise again. Immediately, she quibbled, “You really think I didn’t hear it? I heard and saw everything!” As if to prove it to everyone, she patted her chest and walked in a circle while she explained, “Let me tell you: What Elise said is not true at all!
