Once Miranda returned home, she immediately started arranging her books. She was drenched in sweat after she finished placing them neatly on the shelves. Walking into the living room after her shower, Miranda noticed the ointment she'd left on the coffee table. She picked it up and unscrewed the ca
"Come over," Hansel replied. On the other end, Ingrid almost jumped for joy under the covers when she read the message. She'd intentionally tried to test Hansel many times before, even with some hints of seduction. However, he'd never responded.Ingrid thought it would be the same this time as well
"Have you finally come to your senses?" Zach shot to his feet. "Are you going to stop acting like you're a man without any mortal desires?"Despite the sarcastic remarks, Hansel remained expressionless. He didn't even raise a brow."There's no special meaning to it, and it's not my first time doing
Miranda chuckled. "Shouldn't I be treating you instead?"Winter raised her brows. "We're best friends! It doesn't matter who treats who. Alright, it's decided! Get ready. I'm coming over to pick you up now."Miranda put her phone down and went to her room. She opened her closet and picked out a v-ne
Miranda raised her head and found that Paul's chin was almost touching her forehead. If she hadn't grabbed onto his arm, she would've ended up pressing her face right against his chest…Miranda snapped out of her reverie and took a few steps backward.Paul swallowed unnoticeably and put his hands do
Before entering the exam hall, Miranda checked that she had her admission ticket, pen, and all the tools needed for doing calculations. She hadn't left out any of the things she needed.Winter told her she planned to come all dressed up to wish Miranda the best of luck for her test.Miranda knew tha
Miranda understood what Tina was trying to say. She merely smiled and didn't try to explain anything.Tina asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you did your undergraduate studies at Bedford College, right? Which school are you trying to apply for this time?"Miranda replied, "I'm still opting for Bedford Co
It had gotten dark outside pretty early since it was wintertime.Before 7:00 pm, the street lamps lining either sides of the road lit up. The lights gave people a sense of warmth on this cold night.Walking from the subway station to Bedford College, one would pass by a street of shops and vendors s
On most days, Zach would sleep during the day and pick up Winter from work in the evening. Then, they would spend a wild night in the apartment.Afterward, they were too exhausted to do anything but sleep until noon.Zach cleared his throat. Yeah, he had been pretty busy."Well… work's been a little
"What the hell! Winter? Hello? Hello!" Zach shouted into his phone. But she had already hung up before he could finish cursing. That feeling was like…An urge to go, only to have to hold it back forcibly. Zach slammed his fist onto the steering wheel in frustration. The steering wheel, of course,
Paul said, "No? Then come over to my place tonight, and we'll take a closer look."Miranda was at a loss for words. "Here we go again!" she thought. As the two returned to the lab, they could hear Sandy's excited voice from afar, "Oh, we found it! Found it! Oh my god! Thank goodness! Thank the heav
Emilia was at a loss for words. After a long pause, she finally spoke again. "One last question. Did you reject my résumé because I truly wasn't a good fit, or was it because… I gave you that candle?"Paul answered, "You truly weren't a good fit."He hesitated for a moment before elaborating, "Your
Only a fairy like Miranda could tame a slave driver like Paul!Bryan added, "You really saved the day and brought peace on earth."Miranda chuckled. "You guys are really too dramatic."As Sandy took the plate of food Paul handed to her, she pointed at the computer screen nearby. "Let me tell you, we
The person on the other end was shocked. "How is that possible?"Realizing he might have overreacted, he quickly added, "Maybe… they just haven't sent out all the notifications yet. My qualifications aren't as good as yours, and my research achievements are much weaker. There's no reason I got selec
Winter soon ended her call with Miranda, feeling dejected. She tossed and turned in bed, an uneasy creeping up within her. Suddenly, she sat up. "Why do I feel like I got tricked?"Meanwhile, Miranda hummed a tune after the call. Feeling good, she went to take a shower. After drying her hair, she
As Miranda and Paul reached the apartment building, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you keep touching your head?"Instinctively, Paul rubbed his head again. "Tsk, that kid pulled really hard. I bet he yanked out a few strands of hair.""Yanked?" Miranda was puzzled. Paul nodded. "It felt a littl
Miranda nodded. "Alright. How about I trade the stuffed toys for you?"Austin's eyes widened in shock. "You want me?""Yes.""No way! Human trafficking is illegal!"Miranda retorted, "This isn't trafficking. It's a prize, so no money is involved.""It's still not allowed!""Why not?"Austin spoke cl
