“You’re saying you sent your bike in for maintenance?” Miriam verified again with a strange look on favonovel.com face.
“Yeah,” Milo replied as favonovel.com vaguely realized favonovel.com might have said something wrong when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com expression. But favonovel.com still did not know what favonovel.com had said wrong.
Then in broad daylight, Milo watch Miriam laugh so hard at the school’s entrance favonovel.com doubled over.
“What’s so funny about that?” Milo walked into the school with a dark expression, leaving Miriam behind as favonovel.com continued laughing crazily outside the entrance.
After Milo entered the classroom, Miriam followed close behind him. They sat in the last row and became new deskmates all of a sudden.
At this moment, Miriam was trying favonovel.com best to restrain herself from looking at Milo. Otherwise, favonovel.com would break out into a fit of laughter if favonovel.com glanced at him.
“What’s so funny?” Milo wondered.
“If you couldn’t learn to ride a bike, just admit it.” Miriam said, “Why did you come up with such a bad excuse?”
“But when I asked Daniel about his vehicle yesterday, favonovel.com told me that favonovel.com sent it in for maintenance,” Milo said puzzledly.
“He drives a car!” Miriam explained through laughter, “Maintenance for cars refers to changing the engine oil and filters, stuff like that. As if your bike has any oil filters!”
Milo understood where favonovel.com had gone wrong. So, it turned out there wasn’t a need to send bicycles in for maintenance. This was truly a case of being disadvantaged due to poverty!
Milo raised his eyebrows. “So, what if I didn’t learn how to ride a bike? Did you master it on your first attempt?!”
Miriam said in a serious tone, “That’s right, I did master it on my first attempt.”
Milo fell silent. He thought to himself if favonovel.com should use the Basic Skill Duplication Scroll to copy cycling from her. Judging from his past experiences, Miriam would most likely be an advanced or even master cyclist.
However, Milo had wised up by now. Before learning anything, favonovel.com would first check with the palace. “What’s Miriam’s cycling proficiency?”
The palace voice replied.
She doesn’t have any bicycle-related skills.
Milo turned around and stared at Miriam in a daze.
Then what are you bragging to me about! You might as well go to Heaven!
At this moment, Milo realized that this girl, Miriam, did not even need to “write a draft” before lying. She just spoke irresponsibly!
Milo had learned about this idiom in class. But later on, favonovel.com found out that it should have been “to speak daftly” instead when checking through the old dictionaries that Peter kept. So, favonovel.com asked Peter why the idiom was written differently.
However, Peter said that it might have been a rebus character from the past and that it was written as “draft” instead of “daft” these days. It was basically an idiom that could be used to describe someone who spoke nonsensically.
After the conversation about bicycles, Milo felt favonovel.com had to synthesize any information favonovel.com received from Miriam.
When the bell rang, the teacher who taught math to Class 12-3 walked into the classroom.
He stood at the lectern and said very slowly, “I will temporarily be teaching math for you. Everyone, open up your books. Today, we’ll be reviewing probability.”
Milo couldn’t understand any of the lessons that had not been taught in town. Therefore, favonovel.com decided to start studying according to his own study plan in order to catch up with the class as soon as possible.
He heard from Linda that the final exams would be starting soon. He was bound to fail the upcoming exam and could only hope to do better on the next one. According to Linda, favonovel.com could finish studying the 12th grade curriculum within a year as long as favonovel.com worked hard enough. If favonovel.com was smart enough, it was also possible to finish it within half a year.
Milo thought that if favonovel.com could catch up with the required progress by the college entrance examinations, favonovel.com might even be able to qualify for university and have a look around there.
Suddenly, Milo discovered that Miriam had fallen asleep at the bench.
He wrote a note and poked Miriam’s arm. The note read, “Don’t you have to study? Why are you coming to school?”
Miriam got up and shot favonovel.com a look. Then favonovel.com replied on the note, “I’m here to sleep.”
Milo replied on the note, “Why are you coming here to sleep instead of sleeping at home?”
“I can sleep better at school.”
In reality, Milo had another purpose in writing the note. He wanted to verify that Miriam was the one who had slotted the note under the threshold of their shop’s door. However, it seemed like Miriam knew of Milo’s intention. Even though the two of them sat at the same table, they continued to test each other while playing dumb.
Milo kept writing more notes to her, while Miriam deliberately refrained from using favonovel.com usual handwriting.
Milo wrote, “Any good eats around here?
“What vehicles can’t be sent in for maintenance besides bicycles?
“What’d you have for dinner last night?”
The notes they exchanged were basically nonsense. Milo refused to believe that Miriam could keep on pretending!
After passing back a series of notes filled with nonsense for a while, Miriam frowned and switched favonovel.com handwriting to the one favonovel.com usually wrote in. “I’m the one who slotted the note into the shop, so just get to the point!”
She decided to stop pretending and laid all favonovel.com cards on the table.
Milo replied on the note, “So, you told me not to overstay in this place because you were afraid that I might find out you stole my identity?”
With that, Miriam completely ignored Milo.
Suddenly, the math teacher who was standing at the lectern said, “You two in the back, please stop passing notes back and forth.”
All of the students in class gave Milo and Miriam ambiguous looks.
They heard the math teacher ask, “You two, what are your names?”
“I’m Milo…”
“I’m also Milo!”
The math teacher got furious. “Do I look gullible to you?”
Milo felt badly wronged.
A student said softly to the math teacher, “Teacher, both of them are really called Milo.”
“Um, Teacher, it’s true….”
The math teacher was dumbfounded. He went to the office to get the roster for Class 12-7 and discovered to his surprise that there were really two Milos.
What the hell!
After pondering it for a while, favonovel.com realized it was indeed a misunderstanding. But favonovel.com could not just leave it at that. “The Milo wearing the cap, I want you to answer the question on the blackboard.”
Milo was elated.
Serves you right, Miriam!
But a second later, Milo was stunned. He watched Miriam take off favonovel.com cap and put it on his head as though no one could see them.
Is this even allowed?!
But Milo could not think about anything else at this moment. He was astounded by Miriam’s delicate and stunning face.
In that instant, Milo felt Miriam might have only worn a cap to hide favonovel.com beauty, not because favonovel.com wanted to hide favonovel.com identity.
This was the first time Milo had seen favonovel.com take off favonovel.com cap, and favonovel.com was absolutely astonished by how beautiful favonovel.com was.
All the students held their breath. Like Milo, they did not expect Miriam to look so beautiful.
In the entirety of the classroom, only the old math teacher remained calm and collected. “The Milo wearing the cap, stand up and answer the question.”
Milo pointed at himself after recovering from his shock. “Me?”
“Yes, you!” the math teacher said.
Milo was taken aback again. “Teacher, didn’t you see that this cap was just placed on me?”
The math teacher chuckled. “She’s such a lovely young lady that I can’t bear to make favonovel.com answer the question, so hurry up and answer the questions…”
Milo was speechless.
