Thompson Miguel glanced at her lightly, changing the subject:
“I’m going to change clothes in my room…”
Mrs. Thompson looked at her expressionless son, shook her head, and reminded him:
“Come out and drink some ginger soup after you change…”
On the other side, Moore Audrey finished her shower and came out; her phone had charged a bit, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to send a message to Thompson Miguel:
“Don’t forget to drink the ginger soup!”
Thompson Miguel had just entered his bedroom, took out his phone, and smiled unconsciously when he saw the message.
If Mrs. Thompson saw this, she would definitely be very happy!
After the art week, the end of the semester was approaching.
The academic workload at school returned to its usual intensity.
Unlike other classes, in Moore Audrey’s class, as the end of the semester drew near, the teachers emphasized the basics even more, making the students review not only the new content learned that day but also the material covered previously.
The study tasks were quite tight, which made Moore Audrey momentarily forget about Thompson Miguel.
The few rare encounters they had were during the big breaks or when they happened to run into each other on the way home after school.
The boy would occasionally suggest one or two plans, but the little girl always turned him down. Besides rejecting him, she couldn’t help but envy Thompson Miguel, who seemed to have a much easier time with his studies.
But studying was a personal matter; she knew it was useless to compare. Fortunately, the little girl had a strong ability for self-management and self-discipline.
Although every time she rejected Thompson Miguel, she would feel a subtle pressure from his gaze, she still mustered her courage to face the challenge.
The busy and tight schedule passed quickly, and before she knew it, the semester was over, the final exams were completed, and Moore Audrey welcomed the scorching summer in High City.
Every day without early classes felt so wonderful.
Moore Audrey was particularly happy and began planning a little trip for herself.
After discussing with Moore Luis and Eloise, the final destination could only be a few nearby cities.
The lovey-dovey couple generously decided she could go to Lumina City for a visit, and they would contact Seth, who was studying there, to take care of her.
They also encouraged her to invite a few friends along.
Moore Audrey usually felt stifled staying at home, so receiving this special permission made her extremely excited. She hurried to tell her best friend, Jade, about it.
Jade was quite straightforward and decisively agreed after thinking for two minutes.
Moore Audrey was very happy.
So, she rarely posted a status update, but unexpectedly, just a few minutes after posting, Thompson Miguel suddenly messaged her:
“Are you going out to play?”
Moore Audrey, in a good mood, replied:
“Yes
Thompson Miguel raised his index finger and responded:
“Just you alone?”
Moore Audrey replied honestly:
“Not at all, I have my best friend with me!”
After a few seconds, Thompson Miguel replied:
“It’s not safe for two girls to travel…”
Moore Audrey thought about it and realized he had a point. Although there would be Zhou Qi looking after them when they got there, it was still not very convenient.
Just as she was pondering this, another message seemed to come in. Moore Audrey focused and smiled:
“You can add me to your group.”
Moore Audrey chuckled as she wiggled her toes and replied:
“Sure!
Then she turned to inform her best friend:
“Travel team just added one more person!”
Jade, knowing her well, responded directly:
“Thompson Miguel is going too~”
She didn’t even bother with a question mark.
Moore Audrey let her tease her:
“Yes~”
Then Moore Audrey added a few more people to the group and sent out the departure time.
The meeting point was High City Airport.
Moore Audrey always liked to prepare early, so the day before departure, she packed her things and double-checked. After that, she received a video call from Thompson Miguel.
The boy still had that expressionless face.
Moore Audrey stared at him for a while and couldn’t help but ask:
“Has your face paralysis improved?”
Thompson Miguel looked at her curiosity for a moment, then replied:
“It should be much better…”
Moore Audrey teased him playfully:
“Then give me a smile~”
This sounded a bit like a spoiled little girl~
She quickly shook her head:
“No, no… I just want to see you smile…”
Then she silently pondered, thinking it should be no big deal now!
Thompson Miguel merely glanced at her without smiling and changed the subject:
“Have you packed your things?”
Moore Audrey took two seconds to respond and nodded: “Yes, all packed. We’ll leave right after breakfast tomorrow…”
Then she remembered something and asked:
“You booked your flight, right?”
Thompson Miguel paused and nodded.
After chatting with Thompson Miguel for a while longer, she hung up the call.
She strolled downstairs slowly to grab some snacks.
As expected, she ran into the lovey-dovey couple being affectionate. Moore Luis was holding a fruit platter, feeding Eloise grapes one by one while she watched TV.
