Justus was deeply engrossed in his book, carefully underlining specific passages with his pen as he followed the dialogues. However melodramatic the book might have been, it served as his guiding light. With his lack of romantic experience, these books became his way of compensating for the absence of real-life practice. He continued reading for another half hour until his phone suddenly rang, startling Justus. Glancing at the screen, he saw an unfamiliar number displayed. Mentally reciting the number, Justus immediately recognized it as Azaria's. His heart skipped a beat with excitement. He had expected Azaria to call and inquire about his health in a few days, not on the very first night. Feeling a surge of happiness, he took a deep breath and calmly picked up the phone, softly saying, "Hello." His voice sounded weak and subdued, a deliberate act to create an illusion of illness and evoke Azaria's sympathy. On the other end, upon hearing the greeting, Azaria seemed momentarily s
"I'm sorry, their sudden cancellation of the business trip means I have to return home and cook," Justus apologized. At that moment, he felt an urge to kick his neighbor's aunt's family, but he managed to restrain himself. "It's alright, just come over whenever you can." He softened his voice, but the disappointment in Justus's expression was evident. Such disappointment was only natural, and as the call concluded, Justus felt even more aggrieved. Staring at his immaculate home, prepared in anticipation of Azaria coming over to cook, Justus couldn't shake the feeling that his efforts had been in vain due to the actions of the family across the way. "Butler, please investigate the background of the family living opposite me," Justus instructed his butler to find out what his neighbor's aunt's family had been up to recently, hoping to avoid another disappointment. The butler promptly complied, immediately relaying the gathered information to Justus. Azaria's uncle worked overseas an
Justus: Hey, everything okay? Azaria: ??? Azaria's reply consisted of three question marks, but it left Justus feeling oddly uncomfortable, especially since it was in the middle of class. Justus: Lilyana mentioned that your neighbor might be dangerous. I'm genuinely concerned for your safety. Justus hoped to directly understand Azaria's thoughts about her neighbor. However, he didn't receive a response until noon. Azaria: I'm fine, I can handle it. Thanks for caring. Azaria's reply was firm, in line with her character. But for Justus, it was torment. What was supposed to be a friendly gesture for his neighbor had turned into a strange misunderstanding. Frantically, he searched online for solutions, typing queries like "how to deal with a neighbor thinking you're weird." Unfortunately, Justus found no helpful suggestions. Instead, the group chat buzzed with lively discussions, leaving him both amused and frustrated. Eventually, someone with the username "GoldenMoon" privately m
Witnessing his inclusion in Azaria's three-person group chat, Justus felt a surge of satisfaction. Finally, he had successfully taken the initial step. Lunchtime passed quickly. Justus called the butler, inquiring about Azaria's aunt's work schedule and seeking advice on hacker-proof software. "Young master, has your phone been hacked? Should I report it to the authorities?" "No, someone just changed a few nicknames on my Snapchat." Reflecting on Daisy Bradford's actions, Justus found himself both amused and frustrated. He felt the urgency to find a solution. In a few years, Daisy Bradford's hacking skills would likely advance, making it difficult for Justus to protect his secrets. While talking to the butler, Justus's Snapchat buzzed once more. Instinctively, he opened the app, finding that Daisy Bradford had sent some old photographs. They seemed strangely familiar, and upon closer inspection, the child in the pictures appeared to be him. Senior Daisy: You were adorable as a chi
After waiting for about half an hour, Azaria finally arrived, carrying a bag as if she intended to study with Justus. With a swift motion, Justus locked the door, a smile breaking free despite his attempts to control it. In the past, if Azaria had been confined in such a situation, Justus might have harbored dark thoughts, considering drastic measures. But now, everything had changed. Justus was filled with joy; his plan, meticulously crafted over half a month, had finally succeeded. He had secured this moment alone with Azaria. "Your smile is a bit unnerving, Justus," Azaria remarked, undisturbed by Justus's peculiar laughter. She had grown accustomed to Justus's shifting moods: moments of contemplation, seriousness, and now, an oddly foolish grin. Despite its peculiarity, Azaria felt no sense of danger. Instead, in this space, she strangely found a sense of security. She was accepting this somewhat peculiar friend before her, who harbored no ill intentions toward her. Witnessing
Relaxed on the plush couch, Justus felt sleepiness creeping in after a satisfying meal. His attention drifted to Azaria, immersed in an ancient-looking book she had taken from her bag. Intrigued, he tried to read the book's title, perplexed by Azaria's seemingly old-fashioned choice. It puzzled him that Azaria, a modern high school student, was engrossed in such archaic literature. In a typical scenario, she would have followed the conventional high school routine — attending classes, developing crushes, and so forth. "What? Curious?" Azaria caught Justus' gaze and playfully waved the book, prompting her question. Justus shook his head, stifling a yawn. "No, just looking at the book's title makes me sleepy. I'd doze off if I tried reading it." With that, he subtly shifted closer to Azaria, hoping to lessen the distance between them. Sensing Justus getting nearer, Azaria hesitated but refrained from moving away. Despite her instincts urging her to retreat, she allowed Justus to dra
The chaos continued unabated. Azaria's composure remained serene as she scanned the crowd, her eyes eventually finding Justus in the audience. A faint smile played on her lips, as if silently communicating a message. Then, Kason Savage gracefully positioned himself at the piano, filling the air with enchanting melodies. Azaria's voice, pure and ethereal, blended seamlessly with the elegant tune. "But all you want is not my heart..." Listening, Justus felt a wave of confusion wash over him. The melody and lyrics were not unfamiliar, but what astounded him was that the song Emmett Rutledge couldn't sing was now beautifully performed by Azaria. Despite lingering questions about Kason Savage, Azaria's singing held every ear captive. The audience fell silent, enveloped in the cheerful love song, intensifying the atmosphere. Beside him, Lilyana asked eagerly, "Justus, who do you think Azaria likes?" Justus found the topic uncomfortable. "What are you talking about? Azaria can't possibl
Justus abandoned the idea of seeking help in the simplest way. If the butler had no intention of perishing with him, Justus believed he could find a way out using his skills. He pretended to continue dozing off, and the butler visibly relaxed, gripping the steering wheel and driving further into the outskirts. It was already midnight, and beyond the suburbs were only undeveloped, abandoned factories. When Justus pretended to open his eyes, he saw thugs approaching the car from outside. Leading them was Raiden Dominguez, his once handsome face now marred with various scars, giving him a menacing appearance. He spotted Justus and smirked cruelly, as if he had been waiting for him there for a long time. "Justus, long time no see." "Raiden, it has indeed been a while." Justus remained casual, displaying no signs of being the kidnapped victim. Several others beside him brandished machetes, putting him in a vulnerable position. Raiden Dominguez continued, "Don't worry, I'm not here to
Derek Wallace's anxiety reached a breaking point, leading him to caution Azaria about fixating on Justus. This confrontation eventually escalated into a final showdown between Derek Wallace and the other major families, leaving Justus caught in the crossfire.Meanwhile, Justus remained oblivious to the brewing chaos, navigating a tangled web of emotions. He watched Derek's relentless pursuit of Azaria, and what terrified him the most was Azaria's waning affection for him.Fear tightened its grip on Justus as he contemplated the ominous possibility of history repeating itself. Anguish and frustration overwhelmed him, rendering him powerless and adrift. Seeking comfort, he embarked on a shopping trip with Lilyana, a seemingly ordinary outing that unexpectedly spiraled into a life-threatening situation. Justus was injured while trying to protect Lilyana, deepening his sense of despair.Amidst this turmoil, Azaria and Derek Wallace's rivalry intensified. Azaria, boldly affirming their rel
But even so, no matter how busy Azaria was every day, she would chat with Justus for a while. This feeling made Justus fully aware of Azaria 's importance to him, and also made Justus feel that his obsession with Azaria had become a little hopeless.However, the previous exercise increased it by 1%.Justus was so helpless and confused that after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to take the initiative to provoke Derek Wallace.Time flies by, Justus never imagined that time would go so fast before. By the time she realized it, her first year of high school was over, but the busyness of life was still going on.The secretary began to appear on TV instead of Justus and participate in various activities. During this summer vacation, Pinnacle Company will launch the first Pinnacle Competition, which is even more lively.“I've been thinking about you every day, and now I finally see you.” Azaria's love words began to become more and more slippery, which always made Justus suspect
Although the gesture she showed was so seductive, Azaria's destination was obviously the kitchen. In front of Azaria, who doesn't have any romantic feelings, Justus found that he was overthinking. Thinking that it had been a long time since she had eaten what Azaria had eaten, she nodded slightly.“Are you hungry ?”“It's me... informing everyone that we are also going to have a long- awaited early morning meeting.” It seems that today is another ordinary school day. School without Azaria is so boring, and there is one more exist.[Whether the memory of previous strategies will disappear. ]“Hahaha, what 's the answer?”The morning passed in a haze, and as soon as it ended at noon, Mo Xiaohei followed Justus.“But, I'm starting to get hungry now.” Azaria had a smile on her face, but her smile was dangerous at the same time. Just like the empress' usual smile, with her movements, the black cloth next to her that had always concerned Justus was opened.But this is not over yet. Justus,
Azaria was suddenly a little scared. She didn't have so many emotions in the past, but when she met Justus, she was so scared. She was afraid of being hurt and betrayed, but she seemed to think that Justus was too fragile.Although Senior has always regarded herself as a bystander, she has read a lot of novels and comics. Justus opened it and saw the skills of Bai Lily's senior sister.They had already started dating, and the next thing was obviously natural. Justus hesitated whether to confess the truth so that Derek Wallace would give up the script he had constructed alone, but the sentence was stuck in his throat and could not be said.were a lot of rumors about a transfer student. It was originally a favorite transfer student plot in romance novels, but he never thought that Justus would experience it himself.Cancel skill: The user can make a skill of someone other than the protagonist invalid for a period of time.

But now, she seems to be taking the initiative, as if she wants to have something happen with Justus this night.talking to a player one day. The player always took advantage of Daisy Bradford and called her grandniece. Now Justus seemed to know the answer inadvertently.Azaria's expressions are becoming more and more serious, and she is definitely not a person who plays with emotions. Even though they were just talking about dating, Justus had the illusion that if he agreed, it would last a lifetime.The relationship has changed, but what remains unchanged is the same daily routine. When Azaria looks at Justus, she will show a tenderness that is not seen in front of others, and they will be like a couple, holding hands and hugging, but still not crossing the last line.Justus couldn't tell the truth, so he had to tell him abo
Justus explained in one breath why he met with the secretary during school hours. He pursed his lips and showed a very regretful look, “I didn't ask her to buy anything, so just now I just heard something she said, and I was a little worried that she bought something strange and couldn't help but hide it when she saw you.”“Are you Secretary ? Are you Mr. Wallce ?”Ms. Hernandez 's eyes were fixed. After looking at Secretary, they finally settled on Justus' face with a bit of interest.It was obviously because she gradually developed a liking for Justus that she decided to carry out this crazy plan. Realizing that her goal was wrong, Azaria hugged Justus tightly with some regret in her heart.Azaria felt that she had really become stupid, but she couldn't resist the cry in her heart. This kind of inner struggle is actually happening every day, which is completely inconsistent with Azaria's previous vigorous and resolute style in the mall.She was dressed in casual clothes, but wore pla
“Justus, would you like to go to my house every weekend? I will entertain you well.”Derek Wallace loves Justus, and Derek Wallace is also a famous homophobe, so he has always been very strict with Justus's friends. At the last banquet, Azaria was not surprised to see the horror of Derek Wallace.“Azaria, are you thirsty ?”Justus looked at Azaria next to him, looked at her lips, and didn't know why he suddenly asked such a question.Azaria hesitated slightly, but quickly shook her head and told that she had no such relationship with Justus. Not only because there really isn't, but if this rumor reaches Derek Wallace again, no matter how much Derek Wallace loves Justus, he won't be able to let them go easily after knowing that Justus has this idea. two.She walked out of the car slowly, and the people next to her couldn't help but glance at Justus a few times. Justus smiled at the man and continued : “Senior Bai Baihe, good morning.”The arrival of the beginning of school has relieved
This expression was something Justus had never shown before. Azaria wanted to see what she saw, but she felt that she couldn't pry into Justus' privacy, so she just waited for Justus' answer.Now that he has been with Azaria for a long time, Justus always regards this as a joke.This stall allows you to make sand paintings on-site, and the sand painting templates can be saved in a special way. People gathered there, all eager to try.From the original rejection of the topic of love, Azaria is now in the middle of this topic, making Azaria herself dumbfounded. Now I see that Justus is still a little jealous. I don't know whether I should be happy or whether I should say that she has once again completely interrupted Justus 's thoughts about her.Justus laughed as he listened, and the two of them walked into the store. As soon as they saw Justus, the boss greeted him affectionately.“Miss, are you listening ?”The butler opposite called Justus. Justus was slightly stunned and continued :
This was Azaria's first real date with Justus, but Justus was not very well prepared because he was at Daisy Bradford's house. She should be dressed nicely instead of showing up in this place casually dressed like this.Thinking of this, Azaria looked at the excited Justus again. She no longer knew where her brain twitched before she agreed to let this most dangerous person in.“Why are you laughing? How old are you? You still don't know how to style your hair.” Azaria glared slightly, but her tone was still somewhat unexpectedly gentle. She seemed to not want Justus to know the true meaning of her words, so she disliked Justus and couldn't take care of herself.Azaria seemed startled and retracted her feet slightly, but then quickly pretended to be accustomed to it, which made Justus even more certain that she should be the first person in Azaria's life to help her put on her slippers and socks.“Sand art exhibition ?”Azaria was quite surprised when she heard this, but she still smil
