Chapter 69: Diligent

Maureen has always been diligent in getting up early.

The sky was barely lit, and everything around her was deadly silent.

Carrying her backpack, she stepped out and received keys from the dormitory lady to open the steel gate.

As soon as she unlocked the gate, she noticed a tall figure outside.

“Hey, Liam, why are you here so early?

Didn’t you sleep last night?”

Maureen bounded down the steps, quickly ran down, flicked away the bangs from her forehead, and asked, “Is there something urgent?”

“How could I not get any sleep?!”

Liam, with a ‘do you take me for an IronMan, you little fool?’

expression, stated, “I fell asleep as soon as I got home from the train station yesterday.

Since I fell asleep early, I woke up early today.

Having nothing to do, I came out for a walk and happened to pass by your dormitory building.”

Maureen asked, “Did you manage to receive your relatives yesterday?”

“Yes, I did.” As soon as Maureen mentioned Donald’s family, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curve upward.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for two years, when she met them again, she didn’t feel awkward.

Both Aunt Donald and Uncle Donald had gained some weight, but Laurel had lost some.

“They’ve settled in somewhere now, after school today, I’ll go to dine with them.

Laurel will transfer to our school after a period,” she said.

“Who?”

” Laurel.” Looking at Maureen’s excited and joyful expression, Liam tried hard to disguise his jealousy.

He casually asked, “Male or female?”

“He’s a boy, a year younger than me.

He’s our former neighbor.”

Liam suddenly asked, “Do you like him?”

“What are you talking about?

He’s just a neighbor,” Maureen frowned at Liam.

Moreover, she strongly suspected whether Liam, such a single-cell school bully, even understood what ‘liking’ was.

Last time during a music class, when a girl gave him an origami crane, he fiercely asked her if she wanted to pick a fight.

Liam was too naive.

“Do you think he likes you?”

“I don’t like him,” Maureen admitted helplessly.

“I just want to study hard right now.

You know the situation in my family.

I am not just Maureen, I am Maureen.

I must raise my grades to a higher level.”

Liam received the gratifying answer he wanted, trying hard to control his apparent joy.

He thought smugly, claiming to study hard was just an excuse.

She had obviously developed feelings for him.

Seeing this, Liam, one hand in his pocket, turned his head and coldly handed Maureen a bag full of breakfast.

Maureen was surprised, took the brown paper bag and saw McDonald’s along with several other breakfast items inside.

She looked up at Liam incredulously and asked, “For me?

Are pigs flying?”

Seeing the morning cold radiating from Liam, his hair still covered with dew, her heart skipped a beat,

“You…

did you bring this all the way to me this early in the morning?”.

“What do you mean all the way?

Liam, why are you so conceited?”

Liam’s fair neck turned red, and he immediately became agitated,

“My driver bought a lot.

I couldn’t finish it and wanted you to help me get rid of the rest.

I’m too tired, you take it to the classroom and give it to Niel and the others.

“Oh,” Maureen looked at the obviously oversized portion in her hand and realized that she might have just been too self-centered.

Liam, a typical rich young man who could command a helicopter by lifting a finger, would do anything for his friends, but he would go insane before delivering breakfast to a girl’s dormitory early in the morning.

“Why didn’t you just take it to the classroom?” Maureen asked.

Liam asked,

“Is it wrong for me to come by and pick up the clothes I put in your backpack yesterday?”

Yesterday, everyone’s coats were soiled by mud, so they casually bought a few sets of clothes in town.

While others carried their own dirty clothes, Liam was too lazy to do so.

He stuffed his dirty coat wrapped in a plastic bag into Maureen’s backpack.

Maureen remembered and grumbled,

“I thought you would just throw that coat away.”

Just for a piece of dirty clothing, was it necessary for him to make a special trip to fetch it?

It made her feel like she had overthought, assuming he had specially brought her breakfast.

“It was really expensive, okay?”

Liam retorted angrily.

“When you get home, carefully check the brand on the label, it costs over 30,000 per piece!

Why else would I be here if not for the clothes–”

“Ah, ah, ah, I know it’s expensive, shut up.”

Maureen, yelled at until her ears tingled, glanced at the crowd around her, turned and ran upstairs.

“Fine, fine, fine, I’ll go get it now.”

As Liam watched her dash away, her backpack bobbing back and forth, he couldn’t help but smile.

Only when Maureen brought down the clothes, carrying them in a bag, did Liam feel satisfied.

The two walked towards the classroom in the morning fog.

After Maureen entered the classroom, she hurriedly opened her textbooks, reading while eating.

She didn’t eat much, leaving the rest of her breakfast on Niel’s desk.

The qualification for the inter-school competition was hard-won, she had to prepare properly and couldn’t waste this opportunity.

Regardless of whether she would win a prize at the end, she had to pass the final selection.

Seeing that she only ate a few bites, Liam was extremely unhappy about the waste.

Considering she was studying intensely, he decided not to disturb her.

He sat on the side, observing her for a moment before he couldn’t help but ask, “When will you join the training camp for the Hundred Schools League?”

Seeing the date on her phone, Maureen replied, “I have to go to the training on October 23rd for ten days.”

“So you’ll end up spending your birthday at the training camp?”

Maureen was taken aback, looking at Liam in surprise.

She had casually mentioned the date once, and he actually remembered it?

She didn’t expect that his memory would be so sharp, even though he always slept during the day and had relatively poor academic performance.

“Let’s see when the time comes.

It doesn’t matter whether I celebrate it or not,” Maureen said indifferently.

“You all accompanying me to visit my grandmother’s grave was the best birthday gift.”

Liam replied, “Then we’ll find a solution when the time comes.”

He thought to himself that he could possibly go to the training camp on that day as well.

But this was meant to be a surprise, so Liam did not plan to reveal it just now.

Pausing for a moment, Liam flipped the pages of a book and continued staring at Maureen.

“Maureen felt uncomfortable under his gaze, she turned her head and looked at him in confusion,

“What’s up?

Aren’t you sleeping this morning?”

Previously, the first thing Liam would do when he arrived at school each morning was doze off on the table, never in high spirits.

What was happening today?

He seemed exceptionally talkative?

And the way he looked at her, it felt like he was expecting her to say something.

Liam thought that Maureen would add, ‘Your birthday is coming soon, I can celebrate it for you.’

But after waiting for a while, Maureen didn’t utter a word.

He stared at Maureen, thinking suspiciously, could it be that the young mask had forgotten his birthday?

Impossible.

Who wouldn’t remember the birthday of the person they liked?

Moreover, on that day, he specifically insinuated Niel and emphasized it twice.

Perhaps Maureen just wanted to surprise him, pretending she can’t remember this matter on purpose.

“Nothing much,” Liam thought, curling his lips, his heart full of anticipation.

“I said, I had a good night’s rest.
