Leon Batton frowned at that. “Can’t we just throw them into the rubbish bin in the school?”Lynette Batton quickly shook her head. “How could we do that? You should know how much thought everyone put into those love letters. We can’t just throw them away in school.“Love at this age is in its purest form. Even if we don’t wish to respond, we shouldn’t trample over it,” she added.Her brother nodded along as he thought she had a point.“Don’t you agree?” she asked.“Yeah, you’re right.”Then, he ruffled her hair affectionately, making her recall their close relationship when they were kids. “You used to adore me when we were younger, even though you acted cool in front of me most of the time,” she reminisced. “Back then, you never showed how you really felt. Now, you are still affectionate with me like you used to be. Only, you no longer act cool. You’re an absolute sweetheart now,” she went on. Leon smirked. “People change.”She shrugged before nodding. “Yeah. The only thi

“If so, I’ll never bother you during my lessons again,” the mathematics teacher said.Leon Batton smiled instantly. “Okay. You said so.”“I did indeed. Come and answer it.”The teacher specifically prepared this question for them. She wanted them to realize instantly that they still needed to learn.She thought they’d been too arrogant lately and did whatever they wanted just because they were academically gifted.This question was based on content taught at universities, making it more difficult than usual.It should be impossible for the duo to answer it correctly.Meanwhile, they seemed calm as they stood up and walked toward the podium.After that, they picked up their pens and began writing down their answers on both ends of the whiteboard.Everyone started muttering then—“She’s trying to make life difficult for them. They can’t possibly answer it correctly.”“This isn’t even high school content. No matter how smart Lynette and Leon are, they can’t answer it. Right?”

The mathematics teacher was annoyed, but she couldn’t do anything about it since she had made the promise.As soon as the lesson ended, students began discussing current news in the entertainment industry—“Did you know that Josh Batton’s movie will be coming out soon? I think it’s going to be out in a month during summer. I want to go watch it.”“Me, too! I admire Josh.”“He hasn’t aged a day. There isn’t a man more glorified than him in the entertainment industry. My parents are extremely against me chasing after celebrities, but they don’t mind if it’s Josh.”“Do you guys have any way of meeting Josh in person? I want to meet him in person.”“To be honest, meeting Josh in person is nearly impossible. Apart from appearing on film sets, Josh is nowhere to be seen.”“If only I were part of his family. I’d be able to see my idol every day.”Lynette Batton and Leon Batton exchanged glances with knowing looks.They were part of that family, although they didn’t feel as intensely

Lynette Batton and Leon Batton gazed at each other as his words instantly made her feel warm inside.She knew her brother had the best intentions for her own good most of the time, even though he came across as unreasonable sometimes.“Leon, don’t you think you’re being unrealistic?" she asked in exasperation. "Everyone needs to grow up. Once we are adults, it's inevitable to engage in some things that are complicated and impure.“Nobody’s world can always remain pure and clean,” she added, feeling like he was being ludicrous.However, Leon wore a subdued expression as he stared at her. “It might be impossible for others, but not for you. I will stay by your side and protect you forever. You will always remain uncorrupted where you don’t have to worry about anything.“I will stand in front of you to block anything tainted and difficult in the world while you don’t even have to lift a finger. You only have to sit still and look pretty,” he added.Ever since Leon became mature enou

The girl quickly ran off within moments. Her departure spurred a flurry of comments from the people around them—“There are all sorts of people in the world. Who does she think she is? How dare she ask Leon to accompany her on the piano?”“Exactly. Why would Leon accompany someone else on the piano? What a joke.”“You’re wrong. Leon would accompany someone else on the piano, but that person could only be Lynette.”“That’s right. Does she think she’s Lynette?”Lynette Batton instantly frowned upon hearing their comments. “All right. Quiet down, everyone.”Abruptly, everyone quietened.She then peeked at Leon Batton. “Leon, how could you turn that girl down in front of so many people?”Her brother frowned slightly. “I don’t like her, so why can't I turn her down?”From his perspective, it was necessary to be cold and be dismissive if he didn’t like that person.He wouldn't want to give them the wrong idea.“Fine. I will never get through your thick skull,” Lynette sighed.“
