Josh was speechless.
“No need to thank me. Just finish it quickly,” Josh said in disgust as he took a tissue and wiped Lily’s mouth.
In reality, Josh didn’t want to wipe Lily’s mouth in the first place. However, he couldn’t bear the thought of people seeing her drooling at such an old age.
Josh felt embarrassed for her.
Meanwhile, Lily began devouring her food.
At the same time, Josh served Lily as if he were a waiter. He meticulously removed the shrimp shells one by one before placing them on her plate. He was so busy that he didn’t even have time to take a bite of his own food.
“Josh… eat…” Lily mumbled between mouthfuls.
“Finish your food. Don’t worry about me. Your next class is Literature.”
“Um…”
Lily remembered that Josh didn’t like
literature. It was Drake who enjoyed literature and reading books. Josh only had a passion for numbers and mathematics.
Nevertheless, Lily was still happy. She happily ate her food beside Josh.
On the other hand, Ms. Sumo Wrestler’s behavior became increasingly outrageous without Lily and Pablo around.
Cheryl, who was sitting upright, suddenly felt a weight on her back. Then, she felt someone kick her chair. In a rush, she turned around to see what was happening.
“Cheryl, are you okay? Did you not sleep well last night?” Cheryl’s classmate, who sat behind her, asked.
Cheryl shook her head. However, as soon as she turned back to face the front, her classmate kicked her chair again and handed her a note. Cheryl took the note and glanced at it. It was a long paragraph written on a small piece of paper.
Cheryl, although I’m not handsome, I’m a good guy. You’re the only girl I love, and I know I won’t fall in love with anyone else. I love you. From Sean
(please sign here if you agree to be my girlfriend).
The note was from a boy named Sean White who sat in the last row.
It was another case of puppy love. Though childish, the boy still gave Cheryl a note to express his feelings.
However, Cheryl didn’t like Sean at all. Just as she was about to write something on the note, Ms. Watson turned around.
In a hurry, Cheryl covered the note with her hand.
With a smirk, Ms. Sumo Wrestler whispered in Cheryl’s ear and tried to manipulate her, “Falling in love is so exciting. Come on, read what’s on the note and let everyone know that Sean loves you.”
Suddenly, Cheryl’s eyes lit up. She raised her hand and said loudly, “Ms. Watson, Sean gave me a note just now.”
Hearing this, Sean nearly dropped his pen.
“What? What did you say? Who gave you a note?” Ms. Watson snapped and slammed the textbook on the table. She was still angry with Josh, and now Cheryl was causing her more trouble.
Nevertheless, Cheryl unfolded the note and read it aloud, “Cheryl, I love you… From Sean.”
Cheryl read what was written on the note, and she felt proud after reading it.
The whole class burst into laughter all of a sudden.
“Sean said he loves her! Woo hoo…!” One of the classmates couldn’t help but snigger.
Everyone started laughing again.
“Sean White, ask your parents to come see me tomorrow!” Ms. Watson shouted. “You’re disrupting the class and harassing your classmate by sending her such a note! I must meet your parents and inform them.”
Ms. Watson scolded Sean and vented her anger on him.
Sean’s face darkened. He glared at Cheryl and remained silent. He felt so ashamed of himself.
However, Cheryl felt nothing at all. Ms. Sumo Wrestler was just a spirit of vanity. Therefore, Cheryl wasn’t bothered even though she had hurt Sean’s feelings.
Somehow, Cheryl had an indescribable feeling. She felt a sense of contentment and couldn’t help but smirk.
Right then, the bell rang. However, Ms. Watson continued talking for another ten minutes before dismissing the class.
After class, the students gathered around Cheryl’s desk and asked, “Cheryl, when did Sean confess to you?”
“He’s not good-looking at all. He’s so bold to confess to you!”
“But who doesn’t like Cheryl? She has tons of love letters in her drawer.”
With that, one of Cheryl’s girlfriends took out all the love letters from Cheryl’s drawer and read them aloud.
In the corridor, all the boys were still laughing at Sean. Sean lowered his head and remained silent.
However, when they saw the girl take out all the love letters from Cheryl’s drawer, they were shocked.
Cheryl was a beautiful girl, and many boys liked her. Many of them had sent notes and love letters to her before.
The boys who had been teasing Sean just now were dumbfounded. Their faces darkened. They couldn’t believe Cheryl had let another girl read their love letters.
“Give me back the letters. But to be honest, I’ll never like any of them!” Cheryl blurted out.
“Yeah, Cheryl is the future daughter-in-law of the Shaw family. She’s destined to marry into the Shaw family one day.”
Hearing this, Cheryl didn’t deny it. Somehow, she felt even prouder of herself.
Little did she realize that Ms. Sumo Wrestler behind her was growing larger. She was absorbing Cheryl’s vanity aura, causing her size to expand.
Pablo, who had returned, saw this and shook his head, “What? She’s expanding again?”
Cheryl was just a child. If the vanity spirit continued to absorb her vanity aura, Cheryl would die within two days. When Cheryl died, the vanity spirit would take over her body and replace her.
The vanity spirit would then evolve and become even more ferocious. Before things got worse, Pablo knew he had to capture her first.
“But where is Lily?” Pablo asked.
In the office, the homeroom teacher took a sip of water and asked, “Ms. Watson, how was your class?”
Ms. Watson took a sip of water and nodded.
The school board paid a lot of attention to Lily. Although the homeroom teacher wasn’t afraid of authority, she didn’t want to be held responsible if anything went wrong.
The homeroom teacher inquired once more,
“How is Lily doing?”
Ms. Watson smiled and responded, “What can you expect from a four-year-old?”
Just then, another teacher entered the office and asked, “Have you seen Lily? I believe she’s missing!”
Upon hearing this, the homeroom teacher went outside to investigate. However, it appeared that both Lily and Josh had already left.
“How am I supposed to know where she went? Maybe she’s playing hooky with her friend. She’s not in kindergarten. Am I expected to trail her every move?” Ms. Watson frowned.
The homeroom teacher frowned. “Ms. Watson, you don’t understand. Lily is different…”
“In my opinion, every student is equal. I don’t judge students, and I don’t care about their family background. I’m only concerned about their grades.” The bell rang. Ms. Watson took her textbook and stormed out of the office.
The homeroom teacher was speechless. Ms. Watson was biased against students with low grades. How could she claim that all students were equal in her eyes?
“I’m going to get into trouble sooner or later!” exclaimed the teacher who had just walked into the office. She was worried.
“Don’t worry. Go back to class and see if Lily has returned. I’ll search the campus for her,” the homeroom teacher suggested.
