Cordelia had a hard time holding in her laugh, so she got up to walk in the front yard. She looked back occasionally, seeing Zephyr sit in the living room speechlessly and throwing her a “hostile” look as if to say, “Just you wait tonight!”.

She blushed, and her heart rate picked up, so she quickly avoided his gaze.

In the room…

Zennie finished the bowl of congee and looked up at Seth like a child waiting for a reward from an adult.

The moment their eyes met, Seth’s heart melted. This was what it felt like to like someone.

He once liked Linda as well, but it felt totally different from now. When he found out that Linda had Nicholas in her heart, he chose to back out and wish her the best sincerely.

Despite that, if Zennie were to tell him that she had someone else in her heart, he would give his all to compete with the man—like a knight who battled for love in the Middle Ages.

As someone who held a scalpel, he could pick up the sword and become incredibly brave too.

“Seth…” Zennie called him softly and waved a hand in front of him. “What’s the matter? What are you thinking about?”

Seth snapped back to himself and placed the bowl aside. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at her pure and innocent look.

What should his next step be? A voice shouted in his heart, “Confess!”

Seth suddenly sat up straighter and cleared his throat. He looked stern as he pulled his shirt stiff without a wrinkle.

Zennie widened her eyes. Was… Was he going to give her another lesson? Maybe more practice problems?

God!

“Cough, Zennie, I… I have something to tell you.”

“No, don’t!” Zennie cried in despair, nearly tearing up. “I beg you, have mercy on me! I know that exams are coming up, and I know I must get good grades after taking a year’s break from school! But I’ve done three years of mock exams and five years of actual exam papers eight times! I can even memorize the punctuation marks now! Can you—”
