Winter loved ceviche, so she picked ceviche made from fresh salmon and some other common seafood dishes.Miranda wasn't used to eating raw food. She picked pasta and cured fish slices.The pasta tasted average, but the ingredients were exceptionally fresh.Noting that she was more modest with her ch
Paul adjusted his glasses. "We can never achieve instant results in physics. There's a certain rhythm and pathway to yield results. You can't change that by just pausing halfway."Blake looked sheepish. "I'm just saying…"They ended things on a sour note. As Paul turned around, Miranda waved at him
Ingrid strode down the stairs in huge steps and darted toward the entrance. She easily found Hansel's car parked by the roadside.He leaned against the front of the car. He wore a cream t-shirt inside his dark grey coat with a pair of sleek black casual pants. It made him look like a student, young
Winter took Miranda's hand and said, "Come on, let's go! I planned everything out before coming. I'll make sure you'll have the time of your life today!"…Right after that, an endless volley of screams continued for almost five minutes. "Save me!"Miranda rubbed her ringing ears. She looked at Wint
After lunch, Winter bought two tickets to an animal show. Excited, she took Miranda to see the dolphins.They followed the crowd to the southwest corner of the theme park, where the animal show hall was. The hall was air-conditioned. Compared to the heat wave outside, it felt like they'd come to hea
"You may enter now."Behind the staff was a curtain that opened to the sides. A slight breeze blew from inside, lifting a corner of the curtain and revealing a pitch-black corridor.From time to time, shrill screams sounded. Winter swallowed and grabbed Miranda's hand, shuffling forward.Miranda had
Soon, Miranda was the only person left in the room.Fortunately, after the alarm had gotten off, the lights became brighter. She took a couple more steps and found a hint diagram.After successfully passing the second room, she heard some noises from a crowd not too far away.Frowning, she looked in
At that moment, the staff's voice came from the entrance. "The route malfunction has been fixed. Please stop pushing and instead move toward the exit in an orderly manner…"With someone managing the crowd, the chaos quickly came to an end.Miranda didn't bother giving Hansel another look before leav
Miranda wasn't naive or inexperienced. She immediately recognized Paul's arousal. Could it be…"Did it not have any effect at all after soaking in cold water for so long?"Paul had his back to her, so Miranda couldn't see his expression. All she heard was a low, almost inaudible voice. "No…""Then y
Miranda spoke in a tone that was neither hot nor cold, her attitude as indifferent as always. Elizabeth couldn't help but glance inside the room. "Have you seen Dr. Jefferson?""Yes, we met at the banquet. We came back together.""And after that?" Elizabeth asked anxiously. "After what?" Miranda l
Elizabeth was pacing back and forth anxiously in the adjacent room. She glanced at her watch more than ten times in the last minute. She bit her lip as the quiet environment amplified the unease in her heart. She reached for her phone several times, but she put it back on the table in the end. Whe
Miranda sneered coldly. "Does this mean any woman with a bit of achievement must have climbed her way up by sleeping with men in your eyes? Speaking of which, let's just take a look at Dr. Rachel Browne from Echo Bay Institute of Technology. "Not only is she one of the country's top astrophysicists
Paul came looking for Miranda after asking a waiter for directions. Unexpectedly, he saw Wyatt chasing Miranda just as he approached. Paul blurted out those words in that moment of urgency when he saw Wyatt reaching out to grab her. Wyatt's hand froze in midair. Meanwhile, Miranda was momentarily
"Mind having a chat?" Wyatt asked.Although Miranda felt puzzled, she maintained a smile on her face. "I don't mind, but we don't seem to be in the same academic field.""Didn't you say during your speech at the forum yesterday that the charm of research comes from interdisciplinary collaboration? I
These old-timers like Crosby weren't strangers to trying to matchmake Paul, whether setting him up with relatives or pairing him with students. Over the years, they had tried countless times, and Paul's answer was always the same. "Not considering it at the moment."Crosby hadn't planned on bringing
The night was deep, with the moonlight shining brightly.The academic banquet was held in the hotel's largest grand hall. It was chosen for convenience since the attendees could retreat to their rooms for a quick rest before returning. There were no red carpets, no flowers, and no luxury cars. Only
"What is this?" Miranda had an inkling of what it might be, but she kept her emotions in check and asked.The staff member smiled faintly. "Ms. Sutton, you're exceptional. We look forward to your presence at tonight's academic banquet." With that, he turned and walked away.She looked down at the i
