been humiliated.

She was suspended from class and expelled from the Olympiad Math team.

She even felt that if she had done nothing from the start and if she hadn’t gone to Class One, perhaps none of what followed would have happened.

After returning from school, she indeed felt lost. What could she possibly do next?

She wondered if she would continue neglecting her studies like that.

Only when it became clear what she had to do did Eileen come to terms with everything.

After all, she made a promise to someone, to help him get into Hulbury University.

Elm appeared, carrying two large bags. Seeing the person on the couch, he acted as if he hadn’t noticed them, and started stuffing the groceries he had just bought into the refrigerator. He even had a cucumber hanging from his mouth.

Eric spoke with an indescribable gloom. “Is this what you mean by living well? By mingling with him?”

“I never thought you would think of me this way. Then again, whatever I do is always wrong. This time, however, you really misunderstood. I was just… repaying a favor to Elm.

She had stayed up all night to complete it. Peeling off the tape, she mounted the painting in the frame.

As a sensible high school boy, Elm had already put on his apron, ready to start cooking.

Elm opened the refrigerator and saw a plate of leftover fried chicken from the night before. “Do you want what’s left from yesterday? If not, I’m going to throw it out!”

Eileen replied, “It can still be eaten once it’s heated up later.”

“Okay.”

Leftover food? Eric was taken aback.

Eileen lived a life of luxury, never with a sight of leftovers on her dining table.

In the past, she was incredibly picky about food. Even fish had to be meticulously deboned
