New day

Upon waking the next morning, Maureen had no idea that her image in Williams's heart had plummeted, almost synonymous to a con artist. 

After freshening up, she combed her hair while casually taking out her phone and sending Liam a single period: 

 Liam, as always, did not reply. Looks like he really had her blocked. 

This was exactly what Maureen wanted.

 She was now at ease, knowing that she could send whatever she wanted in the future. 

And so, she brazenly sent two more periods to him.

 In this way, she had accomplished her mission of sending three WhatsApp messages for the day. 

Looking at her potted plant, Maureen noted that the spiritual energy it harvested from these three messages was less than yesterday's. 

The fifth sprout had only grown a little bit. But as the saying goes, 

"even a mosquito's leg is meat," 

Maureen was already very satisfied. 

She took a look at the mark on the left side of her face in the mirror. 

It was now just a very faint speck. 

Having had a bad night's sleep, Liam was in a foul mood that morning. 

As he sat in front of a window sipping his coffee, the servants dared not disturb him. 

His phone suddenly buzzed and his anger boiled as he saw the text from the transfer student.

 "." "." "." Three periods. 

Liam seriously wondered if he was surfing on a 0.2g network, otherwise why was he totally unable to figure out what the transfer student was sending, like some Morse code. 

He tried his best to ignore it, but he couldn't help but open Google and start searching for 

"What do three periods represent?" He quickly found the answer. 

One of the answers was:

 Actually, in romantic love novels, there is a secret.

 Three periods symbolise 

'I miss you', 'I love you', no need for a response.

 This is my secret, a secret that you will never know. ?

 Is that what the transfer student meant? 

Liam was doubtful. 

How creative.

 But no matter what she means, he didn't plan on playing along with her anymore.

 Goodbye. 

So, when Maureen came into the international class with things she bought yesterday, she found that her desk and textbooks were moved to the last row. 

"..." Including her, the class originally had forty-two students, arranged into six rows and seven columns.

 But now, her desk was awkwardly placed at the back next to the water dispenser, forcibly becoming a seventh row. 

The seat arrangement of the entire class was messed up, making it look ugly beyond belief.

 Maureen never expected Liam to be so petty! 

Yesterday, she thought his comment about swapping treats in the afternoon was a joke. 

Surely, he wouldn't actually forcefully kick her out the following day - but he was indeed that petty! 

Maureen stood on the spot, utterly stupefied.

 A yawning Niel walked over and said, "Liam always arrives late and leaves early, he hasn't come yet. 

He probably guessed that you would not go to the teacher to change the seat today, so we moved your seat first. 

Also, today is your day on duty…" 

Before he could finish his sentence, Niel saw Maureen carrying the same transparent bag from yesterday. 

Inside the bag were desserts made from grapes that were completely different from yesterday's. 

His eyes instantly lit up. 

"Since you can't catch up with Liam, why don't you give this to me? In return, I'll take over your duties for the whole semester!" 

Maureen had already eaten breakfast, and she originally planned to give the desserts to Liam.

 But considering her seat had almost been moved to the garbage can, she suddenly didn't feel like giving it anymore. 

"Then it's for you. Chalkboard cleaning is up to you now."

 Niel accepted the dessert with both hands.

 His fondness for Maureen immediately went up and he became very amicable. 

"Transfer student! Bring me another one tomorrow and I'll give you Liam's home address!"

 Maureen asked the system.

"Would the bud grow if I know Liam William's home address?

" System: "No, unless you can go to his house." Knowing she couldn't enter the Williams house, Maureen no longer wanted to know Liam's home address. 

She waved her hand and went to sit at the back, saying, 

"No need." Niel was stunned. What happened? 

Was she giving up on pursuing him so soon? Maureen opened her book, memorizing today's lesson while contemplating whether to be insistent about returning to her previous seat.

 It was clear that every day, only the initial deep breath could help the bud grow, and inhaling around Liam had not done any good after that.

 This meant that there wasn't a need to always sit with Liam; she just had to find a way to get close to him and take a breath.

 Should she encounter any dizzying situations later, being in the same class, she just needed to get over to Liam's side promptly. Moreover, having Liam as a desk mate seemed to involve lots of troubles.

 His emo personality could cause her problems. 

Will there be more trouble ahead? 

Drake, who have 2% good luck, seemed absent because of a cold.

 She wondered if it would be easier to become desk mates with him.

 As Maureen was contemplating these matters, Liam, with a sulky look on his handsome face, entered from the back door of the class, headphones hung around his neck, and his hands stuffed in his pockets.

 He hadn't slept well. 

His whole demeanor was sluggish. 

His red short hair, not having had time to dry, wasn't as spiky as usual, but rather smooth, accentuating his fair skin and delicate features. 

His usual routine upon entering the classroom was to immediately lay on his desk to catch up on his sleep, but for some unexplainable reason, his eyes subconsciously fell on the seat next to his today – which was now unoccupied. 

Liam remembered that he had asked someone to remove the transfer student's seat.

 Pretending to be nonchalant, his gaze quickly shifted towards the last corner seat in the back.

 The transfer student was now silently reading at her new seat in the last row, unconcerned with the world around her. 

She didn't even look up, her slender figure bathed in the glow of the early morning light through her school uniform.

 Liam seldom looked at girls; to him, everyone, boys or girls, were essentially genderless creatures. 

It was the first time that he was noticing that a girl's figure was indeed much slimmer compared to a boy's.

 Perhaps it was due to poverty and lack of decent food? 

Then, it seemed her approach towards him for money wasn't entirely unforgivable. In any case, it was none of his business. 

Liam retrieved his gaze, his face clouded over with displeasure as he returned to his seat.

 As he walked past, he noticed that Niel was hunched over, hiding under his desk, eating something. 

"Didn't finish your breakfast?"

 Liam walked over. 

Startled by his sudden appearance, Niel shrunk even further, dropping his head lower. 

Liam had a bad hunch.

 He reached out, grasped Niel by the nape of his neck, and jerked his head up like a shrimp.

 To his surprise, Liam saw the dessert Niel had hastily stuffed in his mouth and the similar transparent bag in his hand, identical to the one the transfer student had given him the previous day. He: 

" Liam's face immediately darkened. 

He felt betrayed.

 Wasn't the gold-digger woman supposed to be chasing him? 

Even if she were after his money, she shouldn't shift her target midway. 

How could she be so...so...so capricious?! 

Just this morning she was sending him secretive messages, and as soon as they got to the classroom, she was gifting someone else desserts?! 

She is so frivolous! 

"Did you give her money?" He inquired. Niel, seeing the panda eyes of his Liam, quickly covered his head, shrinking like a tortoise, "No." 

"Did you talk to her?" Niel answered honestly, "Yes."

 "What did you talk about?"

 Niel explained, "I asked her if she wanted your address, she said she didn't."

 "Liam felt like he could explode, his forehead seemingly covered with a headache. 

He kicked his chair harshly to vent some fury and sat down heavily, his suppressed rage finding no outlet. 

After calming down for a moment, he loosened his collar, put on his noise-canceling headphones, and dug out several bottles and jars from his desk. 

Just then, his right foot seemed to kick something. 

Annoyed, Liam looked down and found a box. 

What the hell is this? Liam kicked the box from underneath his desk to the wall with a dark face, then asked Niel, 

"Is this yours?" 

"No," Niel quickly replied.

 "I saw the transfer student hauling it over early in the morning." 

Seeing Liam's gloomy expression, Niel quickly went to soothe his mood. 

He scuttled over and revealed opened the box, saying, "

 Liam, it might be a gift meant for you?" 

"Pah, no need. What would an ignorant country bumpkin like her send me? 

A box of potatoes?"

 Liam disdainfully answered, still he stole a glance at the box.

 Then he paused. There was a lot inside the box. 

An ergonomic chair designed for human comfort, which could avoid backaches and pains even after long hours of sleeping sprawled on the desk.

 Plus, there was a hand pillow, with an indentation at its center, specially designed for resting one's head while sleeping on the table.

 There were also lavender aroma therapy products and a few bottles of eye drops tucked in the corner.

 No wonder, such a chair alone was worth tens of thousands of yuan. 

All these were bought for him! 

The expression on Liam's face brightened up instantly. Niel and a few chamchas gathered around marvelling, 

"Girls truly are attentive. 

Liam, you have been sleeping in the classroom for the last three years and yet never thought to buy these."

 "What a bunch of girlish products." 

Liam forcefully restrained his gradually curving lips from smiling, but a blush still slowly crept up his ears, indicating his embarrassment. 

Niel began assembling the ergonomic chair from the box, intending to replace Liam's previous hard chair and planning to sit on it right away, 

" Liam, let me try it out for you."

 Liam grabbed him by the back of his clothes and swiftly hoisted him up, "I'll chop your ass off!"

 Feeling a sudden cold hit his bum, Niel hastily dodged away.

 Liam sat down, not feeling much of a difference from sitting on a hard chair. However, he believed it must be good since the transfer student chose it for him. 

Then he started checking the rest of the hand pillow and the other items, one by one. 

Throughout the process, Liam maintained a stern expression as though he was a leading figure conducting a tour.

 However, on the inside, he felt tender, as though he had eaten a soft boiled egg. 

No one had ever been so thoughtful to him before. 

Liam had fully forgiven the transfer student for behaving outrageously by sending desserts to Niel that day. 

Moreover, he now thought that it wouldn't be a problem to have her as his desk mate.

 Thinking about this, Liam glanced at Maureen.

 However, Maureen was not looking at him. 

After confirming that he had opened the gift, she began to pay attention to her potted plants.

 As she had suspected, the first time Maureen gave a gift to Liam, the seedlings grew rapidly. 

Within a few seconds, the total number had already become seven. 

Maureen cheerfully asked the system, 

"How many seedlings can this pot grow in total? "

 "Nine hundred and ninety-nine," the system responded, seeing Maureen's impending collapse, the system hurriedly added:

 "But generally, when you have planted five hundred, your villainous fate will be eliminated. If you continue to plant, your fortune will even surpass Bianca's." 

Only then did Maureen slightly regain her gusto.

 Liam kept waiting for the transfer student to glance at him or persistently requested to sit back, so he could smoothly let her. 

However, after a whole class, she did not look at him once. Liam, 

"Liam imagined the entire class:

 The transfer student came to him cheerfully in the morning to give him a gift, but then her joy was dampened when she saw that he had moved her desk, chair, and notebook to the corner.

 He realized that he might have hurt her feelings.

 The international class witnessed with astonishment that the heir of the Williams family, for the first time in three years, did not sleep on the desk during the first class, but watched a girl for the whole period.

 A wonder in School A had just occurred.
