Chapter 148 A Shattered Arm

He had also arrived.

As expected, her words were able to capture his interest.

Elm dropped his backpack, which almost slid off the table. Eileen caught it in time and placed it on the chair beside her

“Since we’re here, let’s get started”

Elm straddled the chair and sat down, casually swinging his leg over the other. “Should we study first, or chat?”

“What do you think?” Eileen smiled, knowing that if she didn’t tell him, he probably wouldn’t be interested in listening.

Elm flipped through the pages one by one. Each page was filled with landscapes drawn in pencil lines, with every location clearly marked.

“Not bad, right?”

“Not too bad.”

“Besides that, what do you think is missing?”

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

Elm, in this world, there are still many things I have yet to see. For me, emotional companionship is not a necessity. Even when I’m alone, I don’t feel lonely. On the contrary, I enjoy the freedom that comes with having no friends around. Whether it’s friendship, family ties, or love, I don’t care. Do you understand what I’m saying, Elm? I’m thinking about places. far beyond, not just what’s in front of us right now! Regarding what you said about the Smith family, it’s truly a place beyond the reach of ordinary people, including your brother. He is a privileged person! He is truly wonderful. But for me, there are things far better than these, and I am gradually moving towards my future. Elm, in truth, you and I are the same, wanting to break free from everything… We shouldn’t be like this…” Eileen answered. Everyone should live for themselves instead of becoming a walking corpse.

Afterward, Eileen pushed the math workbook towards him and said, “The simplest and most
