Chapter 274
When Madelyn returned to the classroom, everything seemed as usual. There were no noticeable
differences, except for Jadie taking over her spot in the Math Olympiad team. It was also
something that gave her a headache. After putting in so much effort, it all came to naught
eventually.
Class One’s curriculum was progressing rapidly. The teachers had covered all the textbooks’
content, and now everyone was in the revision phase. After being absent from school for so many
days, Madelyn needed to catch up on what she had fallen behind. However, what bothered her the
most was Forrest.
Jadie had been in Class One for a few days now. The class’s learning pace was so fast that there

approached Madelyn during lunch break. “Madelyn, let’s have lunch together!”
Madelyn looked at her, “I still have something to do. You go ahead.”
Jadie tilted her head and noticed what she was busy about. “Study plan? What’s this for?”
Madelyn explained, “It’s for Forrest. His grades aren’t good. Since I promised to help him with his
studies, I can’t just give up halfway.”
“I see. Alright then! I’ll head off now. We still have classes later!”
Madelyn did this to provide Forrest with a goal, helping him understand what he needed to do.
After finishing, she headed to Class Six.
The sky was overcast today with a continuous drizzle. When Madelyn entered, she saw Forrest
resting his head on the desk. The classroom was already empty. Madelyn approached and patted
his shoulder. “Forrest, come with me to the library.”
Forrest woke up and swatted her hand away, “Stop bothering me.”
Sensing his off mood, Madelyn pulled a chair and sat beside him. She reached to touch his
forehead and said, “You aren’t fever. Forrest, did something happen to you recently? Weren’t you
planning to apply to Ventropolis University? If you keep slacking off like this, you won’t even
meet their minimum requirement.”
Madelyn’s nagging voice awakened Forrest. He propped his head with his hand, ran his fingers through the hair on
his forehead, and turned to look at her. At this time, Madelyn noticed the
frustration, “I won’t go if I can’t get into Ventropolis University. Just stop bugging me.”
After finishing, Forrest left with his hands in his pockets.
“Forrest Arnold!” Even though Madelyn called after him, he still left without looking back.

where he was heading. Eventually, they reached the rooftop on the twelfth floor.
Leaning against the railing, Forrest held a cigarette between his fingers. “You really are
persistent, aren’t you? Can’t you just leave me alone?”
Madelyn ascended the last step and took a blue, translucent fruit candy from her uniform pocket.” You learned how

“I don’t know what happened to you, but everyone has their hidden worries. Maybe this candy will help lighten your
mood after eating it. I’ll chalk up your earlier words to frustration. We still have a three-hour tutoring session after
school today. It’s at the same spot in the library.” Without disturbing him further, Madelyn turned and walked
downstairs.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, “Is… the Arnold residence fun?”
“You want to know? Remember to come later, and I’ll tell you.” Madelyn turned her head slightly, casting a
sideways glance at his figure.
After school, Madelyn went to the library.
