Patrick and ze exchanged a nce, both slightly puzzled. Why did it seem like their junior sister transformed into apletely different person in their teacher''s description?


    She seemed quite approachable from their interactions.


    After a moment of thought, ze, not motivated by the prize, volunteered, "I''ll talk to her then."


    Elliot raised an eyebrow at him, "Alright."


    ze touched his nose, finding his teacher''s gaze somewhat odd.


    But he didn''t dwell on it, turning instead to sit down at theputer, beginning to address the issues Mirabe had identified with Patrick.


    **


    Mirabe left the Physics Department, not heading back to the Biology


    Department but instead walking towards the campus exit, nning to go home.


    Today was the first day of school, and there weren''t any sses.


    Before she reached the gate, her phone rang in her pocket.


    It was James, "Still at school?"


    "Yeah, nning to head home," Mirabe replied, her voicezy and rxed.


    "Wait for me at the gate for a few minutes."


    "Okay, sure."


    Mirabe hung up, continuing her walk at a leisurely pace.


    Alongside, a luxury white car slowly made its way towards the campus gate.


    Inside the car, Yara, utterly bored, lifted her head to look out of the window, her mother''s nagging voice beside her bing increasingly tedious.


    That''s when she spotted a girl walking on the sidewalk.


    Dressed in a white coat, with a tall and slender figure, the hem of her coat fluttered behind her as she moved. Even from the back, there was an elegant air about her.


    Yara''s eyes brightened slightly. She had only met Mirabe once or twice, but the impression was fairly deep.


    Not just because of her striking looks, but also because she was a new student under Dr. Elliot from the Physics Department.


    She recognized her at once.


    Yara asked the driver to slow down, "Stop the car near that girl in the white coat." The driver acknowledged.


    Her mother, Kitty, noticing her daughter''s gaze towards the


    window, also looked out. Without a


    clear view of the front, Kitty didn''t


    recognize Mirabe at first, "A ssmate of yours?"


    Kitty inquired.


    "Not really, a junior from another department," Yara replied softly.


    Hearing this, Kitty lost interest, turning her attention back to her phone without another word.


    The car soon pulled up beside Mirabe, and the driver honked.


    Hearing the sound, Mirabe paused and turned to look at the car beside the road.


    At that moment, Yara had already rolled down the window, leaning slightly out, "Hey, junior."


    Recognizing the somewhat familiar face in


    remembered who she was, "Set


    Ne car, Mirabe quickly


    Yara?"


    Yara smiled warmly, "Where are you headed? Let our driver give you a lift." "Thank you, but a friend ising to pick me up," Mirabe politely declined.


    Yara didn''t insist, "Alright then, let''s get together when we have time."


    Mirabe responded positively without looking further into the car.


    "I''ll be off then," Yara waved at her.


    "Sure," Mirabe nodded politely.


    As the window slowly rolled up, Kitty beside Yara lifted her head again her gaze faintly sweeping outside. Just as she was about to look away, her expression suddenly changed.


    It was Delh''s daughter.


    Rememberingst year''s events, Kitty''s fingers instinctively tightened.


    By then, the car had started moving again, and the figure of the girl outside gradually shrank and receded.
