Damien Morris’s words had just left his mouth when Laura Pinley tugged his sleeve from under the table. Then she lifted her eyes to et Ariel Morris’s gaze, saying gently, "Your dad ans that you’re grown up now, Ariel. You have your own feelings and thoughts, and we won’t interfere with your private life. Whatever you want to do, whichever friends you want to make, it’s your right and freedom. Your parents will always support you, and ho will always be your safe haven."
Ariel Morris smiled sweetly, saying, "Thank you, Mom and Dad." After a brief pause, she continued, "Mom and Dad, I’ve rented a room near the school. I plan to work hard in high school and get into a good college."
Laura Pinley was anxious, "Ariel, why are you suddenly renting a place to live? Are you still bothered by what Scarlett said? You know she’s used to being spoiled by us, so she’s a bit arrogant. Don’t take it to heart."
Ariel shook her head and said with a smile, "Mom, it’s not because of that. I just want to focus more on my studies, so I rented a room near the school to make it easier to attend classes." Seeing her parents about to respond, Ariel quickly continued, "I’ll co ho whenever I have ti, Mom and Dad, okay?"
Damien Morris pondered for a while, "Since you’ve made your decision, then let it be. Rember to take good care of yourself."
Ariel bead joyfully, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."
She could finally go to work part-ti; renting a place was just her excuse to focus on her studies! Actually, she wanted to move out to study and work, doing hourly jobs to earn pocket money to support herself.
Her parents’ approval made Ariel’s heart leap with joy.

Ariel Morris said she’d move out, and the very next day, she really did. She rented an old house and began living a life of working and studying alone.
Thanks to her parents’ encouragent, Ariel grew more determined and courageous in pursuing her crush, never backing down. She beca number one on the Scenic Hill High School forum’s list of girls chasing boys, becoming famous for her pursuit at Scenic Hill!
After school, Ariel was always waiting at the entrance of second-year’s class three. When she saw Arlo Seys co out, she would always be the first to greet him cheerfully, with deep dimples, saying, "Hi, Arlo Seys, what a coincidence."
"..."
Hmm, it was quite a coincidence, seeing her waiting outside his classroom every day was truly a coincidence! Arlo’s lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing.
As ti went on, the students in the second-year class three grew used to her lodious voice outside the classroom, waiting for them to be dismissed. Arlo always left the classroom last, trying to wear down Ariel’s patience. Later, with more ti, he realized he had underestimated Ariel...
Ariel had an unusually thick skin and perseverance.
Due to Ariel’s relentless pursuit over ti, every ti after school, when Arlo was still inside the classroom packing up to go ho, he would always hear classmates who’d left earlier teasingly laughing as they passed by, saying, "Arlo Seys, your Ariel Morris has co to wait for you again!"
Or when Ariel didn’t show up in second-year class three, soone would invariably ask Arlo, "Arlo Seys, why didn’t your Ariel Morris co today?"
Arlo always stayed silent in response to such questions. Then, countless absurdly dramatic love story guesses erged among the students of second-year class three.
"Arlo Seys, did you have a falling out with Ariel Morris?"
Arlo’s lips twitched slightly, but he didn’t speak.
Another classmate chid in, "Don’t tell you and Ariel Morris broke up? That would make lose faith in love!"
Arlo’s lips were pressed tightly, his eyes deep.
How could he and Ariel Morris be breaking up? When had he and Ariel Morris ever been together?
