Naomi's mind was muddled as she was enchanted by the captivating smile of the man in front of her. If it were in the past, a man, who had just known her for a few days, were to treat her in this way, she might have punched him right in the face and thrown him into the sea. However, at the moment... Before she could react, Nelson's lips had already covered hers. She felt a faint scent of mint coming from his breath, shaking her body to its core. She was dazzled by his charm as he took away her first kiss. A tremendous cheer came from the crowd around them but Naomi felt that they seemed to be the only two people left in the world. They could only feel each other's heartbeats and breathing. Naomi still failed to come to her senses after the round ended. Nelson said with a smile, "We won!" Naomi was stunned and turned to look at Nelson. When she caught the teasing expression in his eyes, she blushed and turned away. The organizer
At the foot of the mountain. After Eudora and Amos arrived, they asked the staff at the hotel and confirmed that Naomi was staying there. However, Naomi had already gone out to participate in an event. The two of them rushed to the scene of the event but they failed to see Naomi again. Eudora hurriedly went to ask the other people that were around. Someone told her that there had indeed been a girl and her boyfriend who went up the mountain just a while ago. Eudora and Amos instantly looked at each other. "Boyfriend!" Sure enough! Amos frowned and said, "Wait for me in the hotel. I'll go up the mountain!" "I can't wait any longer, so let's go up the mountain together!" Then, the two of them got ready to go up the mountain. Not long after that, they saw a figure coming down in a hurry from the mountain while carrying a person on their back. "Everyone, please save him!" the person, who turned out to be Naomi, shouted.
In the morning, before Eudora could even get up from bed, someone was heard knocking on the door. Amos got up and opened the door. It was Naomi outside, looking uneasy. "Where's Mom?" Amos furrowed his brow and replied, "Why are you looking for your mother so early in the morning? Don't disturb her rest!" Naomi pursed her lips and said, "Dad, do you know how to make chicken soup?" Amos was perplexed by her question and asked, "You want to make soup?" Naomi replied with a nod, "That's right, Nelson got injured because of me! I reckon it would be normal for me to return the favor by making soup for him." Eudora came out of the room after hearing that. She had heard Naomi's request. Eudora was a little dismayed and asked, "Normal? You've never cooked since you were a child!" In the past, Naomi had only liked to practice self defense. Truth be told, Eudora had also mentioned that she would like to teach Naomi how to cook. Co
Amos went to the shooting gallery. When he arrived, Nelson was already waiting there. Before Amos could say anything, the referee next to him had already started to make notes. "He's punctual in spite of his injury. According to the marking rubric, he should be given credit for that." Although the referee was taken aback by the strange marking rubric that had been provided by Amos, he still tried his best to perform the evaluation based on it. Amos no longer paid attention to him and he walked straight towards Nelson. Nelson, who was originally sitting on a bench, got up and greeted Amos, "Mr. Granger, good afternoon. May I know how the match will be conducted?" The referee continued to assess Nelson and said, "He's polite and respects his elders, so points should be given to him." Amos cast a cold glare at the referee. The referee instantly shut up and began to make notes with his head down. Amos then opened his mouth and sai
Normally, Amos would indulge the children and mollycoddle them but when it came to educating them, he was extremely strict. Eudora's intervention on the children's behalf would not work either. After the punishment was done, Eudora saw Naomi returning to her room. She quickly got up and followed her. "Naomi, sit down. I'll rub some ointment on your legs, or your legs will feel sore at night!" Naomi shook her head and said, "There's no need for that. I have to go to the hospital!" Eudora paused for a moment before asking, "Naomi, do you really like Nelson that much?" Eudora felt a sense of incredulity at the fact that being in love had addled Naomi's mind as she had always been very calm and sensible. Naomi was already in her twenties, wasn't she? The only time she had disobeyed Eudora was when she had wanted to go to Leslie's place and learn self-defense skills from him more than ten years ago, and the purpose behind her actions had been
Naomi subconsciously stepped back. She shook her head and tried to play it cool, "I'm fine!" In the next instant, Nelson had already pulled her back. His actions were fast, causing her to grimace in pain. Nelson frowned and asked, "You got punished?" Naomi wanted to shake her head again. However, Nelson asked her once more, "Does it hurt?" Naomi's heart skipped a beat as she met his tender eyes. She shook her head again and replied, "No, it doesn't hurt..." In the next second, Nelson gave her a pinch on her leg. Consequently, she couldn't help but wince. "Do you still want to put on a brave face?" Naomi said, "It really doesn't hurt. If you don't believe me, try pinching me again. I wasn't prepared just now!" Nelson retorted with a smirk on his face, "It seems that you're craving for my pinches, huh?" Naomi was flustered by his teasing and an awkward moment passed in the ward. A while later, Nelson coughed to break
Naomi was really looking forward to the event, therefore she arrived at the venue quite early. Benedict bought a drink and handed it over to her. "Your favorite!" Naomi took a look at the drink and said, "It is indeed. Thank you, Cutie Pie!" Upon hearing her words, Benedict felt embarrassed. "Don't call me that. I'm already all grown up!" Naomi smiled indifferently and turned her head away. She said, "There seems to be an exhibition over there. Let's head over and have a look!" Just as she finished saying so, she scuttled far, far away. Benedict sighed as he looked at her figure going further and further away. ...... Due to the display being an ancient building, many people had come to the event. The host introduced it excitedly, "This is an architectural model left by the Wright family of Magichitect. However, I don't really feel like giving an explanation about it today. All of you gathered here today are the best of t
Nelson pursed his lips and said, "I just don't want you to quarrel with your parents! I'd never stayed with my parents since I was a child, therefore I cherish familial relationships a lot!" Naomi understood where he was coming from. Before she was five years old, she had also never lived with Amos either. She paused for a while. "Thank you for what you did just now!" Nelson said, "You're welcome! As long as you lead a good life in the future, I will be at ease!" After that, he turned around and left. Naomi stared at his back blankly for a long time. Benedict came after her and called her. "Naomi, what are you looking at? Who was that?" Naomi came to her senses and replied, "He was the person who helped us out just now. I was thanking him." Benedict asked skeptically, "Why did he help us out? Do you know him?" Naomi pursed her lips. Then, she quickly changed the subject, "I like the event, it's fascinating. Thank you for
