Sarah felt like a matchmaker as she talked and was seriously introducing James to her best friend.After saying that, she saw that James had not reacted at all and was afraid that she would fail as a matchmaker for the first time. She then hurriedly added, “Our Ann’s a super beauty. She’ll definitely become a top star if she goes into filming, and she comes from a good family too. Although it’s not as good as the Marshall family, at least it’s not that much of a difference. It’ll be a blessing that you’ve cultivated from your last life if you can marry Ann.”The more Sarah spoke, the more energetic she became. However, as she spoke, she suddenly realized that one of the two shadows were gone. Only her shadow was left.She turned around and James was no longer there.Huh, this person just disappeared. Did he know how to penetrate through walls and go to the dormitory building?After searching for some time and still not finding him, Sarah shook her head and entered the dormitory bu
“Engineering inspection, please open the door so I can check the room.”“Oh.” Sarah got up, fixed her skirt, and opened the door.“Hello, Headmaster Shane.” When she looked at the man behind Headmaster Shane, she was horrified. James Marshall… It was actually him. “You…”“Young Master Marshall is the initiator of this renovation project, so the school invited him to inspect it when the renovation on this dormitory was done. Young Master Marshall, are you satisfied?”Headmaster Shane politely asked James.James’ sight shifted to Sarah’s dormitory, and he asked in a soft tone, “Can I go in and have a look?”He wanted to peek into Sarah's little world.Sarah looked at Headmaster Shane and did not dare to reject. “Headmaster Shane please come in; Young Master Marshall, please come in.”Sarah felt oppressed as soon as James entered her dormitory. This man was too tall. The dormitory was built with only a 2.8-meter height. The room looked very small when he walked in.James casually
“Alright, don’t go out for dinner tonight. I’ll leave as soon as my mum’s done cooking. I’ll bring them over for us to enjoy while they’re still warm.”“Mmmm.” Sarah felt like crying. She was so lucky. “Oh yeah, our dormitory’s renovation is done. It’s beautiful. You should come earlier and see it. I promise you’ll be so happy!”“Got it. I’m leaving around four o’clock.”Ann hung up. When Sarah was listening to the disconnected tone of the phone, there was an indescribable feeling within her.She was lying sideways on the bed and had never felt so comfortable in her life before.The comfort level of this mattress was compatible with that of James’.She was not sure what brand it was, but it was soft, yet did not dent, and was extremely flexible.While the dormitory was empty, she sat quietly to meditate and restore the health of her body.She meditated for over two hours.Suddenly, there were excited voices of girls chattering coming from the hallway.“It’s time to eat… It’s
The cutlery was brand new too.The canteen looked very clean and appetizing.After ordering a bowl of hot and spicy soup, Sarah ordered another bowl of beef noodles.She did so using her student ID.It was impossible for people from outside the campus to sneak in and scrounge for food.There were signs at every window saying, ‘Saving is honorable; wasting is shameful.’While looking at the neat and clean canteen, Sarah had a good appetite and was eating comfortably.The canteen was overcrowded. Halfway through the meal, the speaker of the canteen sounded.“Happy weekend, students. Thank you for coming. Today’s the reopening day of the canteen of Enlightening Middle School. In order to thank all of you for coming, this meal is all free. You can order whatever you want, as long as you don’t waste…”“Teacher, let’s talk about the charges for the food in the future. Will it be expensive for such delicious food?” someone took the lead and asked.“No, I’ll give you a few examples.
It was Monique Sue.After gathering her things and putting them into her bag, Sarah took her phone and walked out of the library.Her phone had automatically hung up during the call.After disconnecting for only two seconds, Monique Sue called again.Only then did Sarah pick it up and answered, “Hello, Madam Sue.”“Sarah, it’s Sunday. Are you free this afternoon?”“I’m studying.” Sarah was being honest, and she really was studying. It was time for the college entrance exam. If she did not work hard, she would end up regretting it.She had no parents to rely on, so she could only rely on herself.“Oh right, the college entrance exam is coming up in almost a month.”“Yes, so I’m a little busy.” Sarah deliberately added the last part. She felt that Monique Sue was definitely not the kind of person who would give up after a call.“Ahem… I understand that you’re busy too, but Madam Sue really misses you. Do you have time for afternoon tea?”“I’m sorry. I really don’t have time,”
Sarah did not expect to be the center of attention again over the weekend.However, she was also confused.Like all of her classmates, she could not figure out who had done it.Such a childish act was definitely not done by James.“Sarah, you know who’s the guy right? Tell us who he is. This guy is so sincere. Are you going to consider it?”“What a confession. If it were me, I’d say yes right away. Sarah, just say yes.”The girls in the crowd automatically and consciously imagined the man who hanged the couplet as a handsome and rich man.“Uh, what if he’s blind and crippled? I can’t simply say yes.” Sarah turned around and left after she was done speaking.Whoever he was, she could stop herself from loving anyone, but she could not stop others from loving her.There was nothing she could do except reject him.She could not control other people’s thoughts.However, when she was about to turn around, there was a stir behind her. “Look, Lamborghini! Oh my God! So handsome!”W
”Go get Ann.”“We’ll have dumplings to eat tonight!” Ann’s mother said.The dumplings Ann’s mother made would always be stuffed with extra meat filling, making it super delicious.Sarah headed toward the direction that led to Ann’s house, thinking to herself as to how she should plan on doing her revision on a daily basis before she sat for her senior year exam. She had achieved third place in the whole grade from her mock exam last week and she intended to fight her way to the first place in the next exam. That way, it would ensure a smooth path for her to apply for the ideal college and major. Buried deep in her thoughts, she felt a throbbing pain coming from the top of her head all of a sudden. Before she could respond, a burlap sack was thrown over her head and next thing she knew, she was being carried away. “Help! Help!” Sarah screamed at the top of her lungs.As she started screaming, a hand came shoving on her mouth against the sack to keep her from screaming, “Quiet,
Practically speaking, the person Sarah was the closest to among all those people here was her mother, Mandy York yet she was the one who treated her the cruelest.All Molly and Yam had was Mandy backing them up. There she went, giving her first slap to Mandy.That loud clap made the room go silent.One moment later, Mandy let out a sharp cry, “You’ve turned rebellious, Sarah. How dare you hit your own mother? I’ll beat the hell out of you, you ungrateful daughter! I’ll beat the hell out of you!”Mandy was about to hit Sarah back but was held back by Jimmy. “Let’s just get down to business, Mandy. Leave Sarah in this room.”Having been reminded by Jimmy, Mandy remembered that there was still something important to take care of.Burying her face in her hands, she ordered Molly and Yam, “Tie her up and put her to the bed. Tonight’s plan mustn't be ruined.”Sarah did not bother resisting and just allowed Molly and Yam tie her wrists together.She sneered, “I know what you guys ar
