However, to get back to the point, unlike the pure beauty of Emily Carter, Grace Bennett is just so fresh and lovely. Unfortunately, because of the angle, I couldn't see much, and I suddenly wanted to write something on her smooth back. The thin clothes and the faint scent of her sweat made me lose my composure a little.

Because our seats were against the wall, and there were books blocking both sides, I wasn't afraid of being seen by others. I don't know why, but there was always a restless feeling inside me that I couldn't calm down, and my courage grew without me realizing it. My fingers touched her back.

With a gentle touch, my heart trembled instantly. I could clearly feel her tremble at that moment as well, but she didn't dodge, nor did she show any intention of resisting.

...Why did Emily Carter seem to pause as well? But at that moment, I was so excited that I didn't think too much about it. Of course, on the surface, I pretended to be reading my Chinese textbook, but in reality, the book was upside down!

My hand trembled as I traced on her back. I had originally wanted to write something, but I forgot everything. The feeling of skin-to-skin contact was just too wonderful. Is this the temptation between men and women? I've read plenty of fantasy and martial arts novels, and there are lots of passionate scenes. I've fantasized about it myself, but today was the first time I actually took a real step, even if it was just a TOUCH.

Every time I touched her, she would tremble a little. I felt like the two of us were connected, and even though I couldn't see it, I was sure our faces were both bright red.

So this is how wonderful it is between a man and a woman!

Just as I was lost in this moment between us, my foot was touched again, but this time it was Emily Carter!

Startled, it was as if I woke up from a dream. The hypnotic voice of the Chinese teacher and the unique rustling sounds of the classroom entered my ears, but the slight sweat on my hand and the unique fragrance from Grace Bennett told me that all of this was real!

Dizzy, I actually did something I only dared to do in my dreams!

Emily Carter gave me a reproachful look, making me blush a little, but she's not my girlfriend anyway, so it's none of my business!

On the side, William Clark was completely immersed in the world of the Raptors, fighting alongside the protagonist. He wasn't interested in those romantic scenes... Maybe his IQ is too high, which led to a low EQ. Even with the two beauties in front of us, he didn't react at all. He's probably the only guy besides me who isn't buying into the charm of the two girls in front. To be honest, I can't escape their charm either, just not as exaggerated as the others.

After a while, the bell rang for the end of class. For the first time, I felt that class went by so quickly. Suddenly, Einstein's theory of relativity came to mind: "When you sit on a hot stove, a minute feels longer than a year. When you're with the woman you love, a year feels shorter than a minute."

As soon as class ended, Grace Bennett ran out, not daring to look at me. Emily Carter, on the other hand, gave me a meaningful look and quietly followed her out.

...Looks like the fox spirit is still afraid of me. Does Grace Bennett like me? Is it true? Better not overthink it. If I get carried away, I'll just embarrass myself. My experiences in middle school left a deep mark in my mind—never give your feelings away lightly, or you'll be the one who gets hurt!

To put it bluntly, I'm a man who's been hurt before. No need to look back at the past!

"Fuck, what's going on? 'Qingqing Apple Fragrance' is so awesome, and 'Soul Eater' is way too honest. To be precise, just too low IQ!"

"Tch, Mosquito, are you looking for a beating? You think everyone is a teenage genius like you?" Without hesitation, I knocked him on the head. How dare he slander my idol! I've made up my mind to be a free and easy person like Soul Eater, who settles scores and lives as he pleases!

"Boss, don't knock my head! There's a one-in-a-million chance I'll turn into an idiot!" William Clark protested, rubbing his head. A genius's head can't be knocked.

Speechless, I give up on him. No need to knock—he's already half a "dummy" anyway. But then again, he's only sixteen, while I'm already an old man by comparison.

"By the way, hey, Mr. Henry, what were you thinking about just now? You looked so absorbed. Don't tell me you were seriously thinking about something." William Clark looked at me with a puzzled face. The two of us are the same type of lazybones, the only difference being that his grades are better than mine, and I'm better looking than him.

His question startled me. I thought he had seen my "bad" behavior just now, but judging by his expression, I was relieved. This guy is straightforward—if he really saw it, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold it in.

"Hey, Mosquito, let me ask you something!"

"What?"

"Between Emily Carter and Grace Bennett, which one do you think suits me better?"

Mosquito looked me up and down, then rolled his eyes. "Ahem, according to a genius's precise calculations, neither of them suits you. The reason is, you can't get either of them. You're just a little less good-looking than me, a little less capable, your family has no money or power, and a bunch of guys like Mr. Harris have already failed before you. So, your chances are zero!"

Mosquito, as if he hadn't spoken in ten years, sent me straight to the eighteenth level of hell in one breath!

"Well, boss, I'm just telling the truth, so you can't bully me, ah ah ah~~"
