Paul had just finished his class and had rushed over from the lecture hall. He was still holding his teaching materials."Bryan and Miranda just had a speed calculation contest, and the deal was that the loser would treat us," Sandy explained. "Well, someone lost, and now we're deciding where to eat
Paul's cheeks gradually started to blush, the red deepening with each second. Within moments, the color spread to his ears.It all happened in less than ten seconds, and Miranda observed every stage of it, making it impossible not to be surprised.Paul muttered, "Maybe it's just stuffy in the car."
Miranda quickly changed the topic. It was almost as if she was afraid Winter would keep asking, "I'm hungry. Didn't we have a restaurant reservation? Let's go eat."There was a seafood and vegetarian restaurant on Sackbed Road that was always packed on weekends. Winter had reserved a table two days
Paul had his car. Since they were headed the same way, Miranda naturally went along with him. The old apartment building didn't have a parking garage, so they parked at the mall across the street and walked back to the apartment.On their way, they passed through a grove of poplar trees when suddenl
Hansel quickly pulled his hand back, like a child caught doing something wrong. "I'm sorry, Mimi. I didn't mean to. I… I don't even know what's wrong with me… I just don't want you to run away, to be so far from me.""Don't touch me!" Miranda clutched her head, tears about to fall from the pain.At
Hansel staggered slightly. "What do you mean by that?""You really don't get it, do you?" Sam replied. "You think you hid everything perfectly, but Miranda's not stupid."Hansel sensed something else in Sam's words. He grabbed Sam's collar, and his eyes were fierce. "What exactly did you tell her?"
Hansel ignored Calvin and kept walking. As he reached the staircase, Calvin caught up and restrained him. "Stop it, Hans. Let's go back! Miranda isn't going to open the door for you anyway…""I have something for her."Calvin paused in surprise. "What is it?"Hansel pulled a tube of anti-allergy nas
"Mimi… I miss you so much… Will you come back, please?"The only response Hans got was the dark, empty living room and the harsh wind howling outside.…The next morning, Miranda woke up early. She washed up and made breakfast. After tidying up, she got ready to head to the lab.As she was closing t
Miranda was the picture of youthful vitality and demure grace, and Paul was momentarily captivated by her."Dr. Jefferson, Dr Jefferson!" she called out to him. Startled, he snapped back to reality. "I'm sorry. What did you just say?"Miranda couldn't hold back her laughter, and Paul looked even mo
Elizabeth couldn't hide her delight when she caught sight of Paul's back the moment she stepped out of her room. She called out to him without hesitation. To her surprise, the person she despised the most turned around at the same time as Paul did.Her smile faded slightly as she spoke, "Oh, Mirand
Paul tapped on the counter with his knuckles. "Your ID is needed to register your personal details.""Oh, right…" Elizabeth quickly rummaged through her bag. The people waiting behind her were beginning to grow impatient. Out of courtesy, they didn't say anything rude. Instead, they just let out a
The substitute lecturer was an unfamiliar face. He appeared to be in his 40s or 50s, with a balding head. His teaching method consisted of reading directly from the slides. There was no interaction, no humor, and lacking in any sense of entertainment. Soon, he lost the students' attention. "Where'
Hendrix suddenly thought of something. "Go check the number of papers published in 'Nature Biotechnology' by scholars within the country for last year."Beckett immediately opened his laptop. Five minutes later, he reported, "For last year, local scholars published a total of six papers in 'Nature B
In chess, a stalemate would result in a draw. With the first two rounds taken into account, the two indeed ended with a tie. Paul remarked, "Mr. Cooper, your chess skills are impressive."Sam replied, "You flatter me. However, praising me is just a roundabout way of praising yourself. Who knew you
Going downstairs, Miranda found Aren and Paul still sitting at the same spot as before. They were facing each other over the chessboard, deep in thought. She wondered if she had dreamed of taking a nap. "Mimi, are you up already? Come help me take a look. Paul is something else. He's already beaten
On second thought, Sawyer figured that Sam was Miranda's older cousin. It was normal for him to be annoyed after seeing through his intentions. After all, it was natural for families to feel protective over young women like Miranda. Sawyer quickly put on a smile. "Mr. Cooper, you're right. Since I'
Sawyer answered, "Alright."Soon, Miranda entered the house. "Grandma, did you call for me?""Come here, Miranda." Fiona beckoned her over. "Let me introduce you to the young scion of the Jensen family, Sawyer Jensen. You two probably met during the birthday banquet.""Nice to meet you," Miranda gre
