After class, Jennifer carefully shook off Needy and went to find Roy.
"Roy, how are the preparations for Needy's birthday going?"
"Don't worry, Jennifer, I'm definitely going to give her a huge surprise!"
Roy had indeed done quite a bit of preparation, including buttering up the principal to borrow the school auditorium on January 12th.
"I've also prepared so surprises for Needy. I absolutely want to make her 19th birthday unforgettable!"
"Then let's just see whose birthday gift Needy likes more!"
This made Jennifer think of the skiing competition in Aspen, and she couldn't help but snort.
"You're going to lose this ti for sure!"
"We'll see about that."
Just then, Teacher Elizabeth suddenly sidled up to them.
"Roy, co to the office with !"
"Okay, Teacher Elizabeth."
Elizabeth had a private office at Oak High School. As soon as they entered, she closed the door and then grabbed Roy's tie, pulling him closer.
"Little Roy, why didn't you call during the holidays?"
"Cough, cough! You almost choked ! I did try to contact you, but the phone wouldn't go through!"
Roy would never forget sothing like that. He texted the "fish" in his "fishpond" every night before bed.
Each session would last for half an hour, sotis even an hour, which seriously affected Roy's sleep.
But what could he do? He chose this path himself!
Elizabeth looked genuinely surprised.
"Oh, it turns out I had turned off my phone myself. I'm so sorry, Roy. I completely misunderstood you."
Roy rolled his eyes. Although Elizabeth's acting was pretty convincing, he could still tell she was faking it, probably just making up so excuse.
"You brought here just to say that?"
"What? Can't Teacher Elizabeth give you a little extra help with biology?"
Roy gave her a sidelong glance. She clearly had sothing else on her mind.
Elizabeth quickly stopped herself.
"Wait, I have class in a bit! There's sothing else I wanted to talk to you about!"
"What is it? Class is about to start if you don't tell ."
Elizabeth sat on the edge of her desk.
"What do you think of the transfer student who ca today?"
"She's pretty cute. Why?"
"Who asked you that? I slled a peculiar scent on that girl, possibly related to demons. I need you to find a way to deal with it!"
Another demon? What on earth is going on in Waterfall Town?
"Which demon?"
"Who knows? Maybe you can rely on your… talents to figure out what's wrong with her."
Roy opened his mouth, speechless. Were they asking him to use his charm? That was too much!
"Why don't you take care of it yourself? If you did, it would definitely be much easier than for !"
Elizabeth shook her head.
"After I got back from vacation, I slled the scent of an old friend in town. Soone from Heaven has been here. I absolutely cannot expose myself at a ti like this!"
The corner of Roy's mouth twitched. He felt Waterfall Town was getting more and more dangerous. Maybe he should just move out as soon as possible.
"I understand. I'll find a way to figure things out."
Hearing Roy's promise, Elizabeth was very pleased.
"Good boy, your teacher will reward you later!"
Was she trying to哄小孩子 (coax a child)?
In the hallway, Roy walked towards the classroom, pondering the issue of the transfer student Nancy, completely unaware that Jennifer was waiting for him.
"What did Teacher Elizabeth say to you?"
Jennifer suddenly spoke, startling Roy.
"Oh, Jennifer, you scared ! It wasn't a big deal. Teacher Elizabeth just asked to look after Nancy and help her get used to the new school."
Roy quickly ca up with a response that sounded quite reasonable.
"Is that so?"
Jennifer suddenly moved closer to Roy and sniffed him.
This action made Roy's heart skip a beat. He had just been quite close to the beautiful teacher, and he was sure he had her scent on him.
However, after Jennifer sniffed him, she didn't ntion the sll on him.
"Roy, that woman is very dangerous. You'd better stay away from her!"
At this mont, Roy felt that Jennifer's aura had changed, as if she had beco a different person.
She exuded both aloofness and allure, two seemingly opposite qualities that sohow blended perfectly within her.
He thought to himself, Jennifer, you've got so pretty big problems yourself right now, don't you?
Roy hugged Jennifer and patted her on the back.
"Jennifer, don't think too much about it. I know what I'm doing."
Just then, the class bell rang, and a balding male teacher with thick glasses walked over.
"Oh, Mr. Black, do you need to give you so space?"
This teacher knew Roy, so he was teasing him.
Jennifer's deanor instantly returned to normal. Two red spots appeared on her cheeks, and she pushed Roy away, rushing into the classroom.
Seeing this, Roy shrugged.
"Teacher Mills, if only you could have been a few minutes later."
"That won't do. The principal would dock my pay! Alright, hurry up and go in."
Shrugging, Roy walked into the classroom.
The first day of the new sester's classes ended quickly. Roy went to the boxing club to practice for a while as usual, but he didn't expect to have guests there today.
"Hey, Roy, you made it."
Lambert smiled and greeted Roy, then introduced him to his guests: a chubby middle-aged white man and a tall, sturdy black man built like an iron tower.
"This is my senior classmate, Alan Berg, who's a boxing coach at UCLA. This is his student, Bruce Eck. And this is Roy. The two behind him are his, uh, good friends."
Hearing this, the middle-aged white man frowned slightly.
