When Penny got home, she immediately searched her room for the broken piece of the keychain. Her face brightened up, lifting the broken piece before her. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
“Good thing I didn’t throw it away,” she muttered. “Right. Let’s check who owns it.”
Penny bolted to her study desk, waiting for herptop to open up. As she waited patiently, her screen glitched for a second.
“Hey,” she frowned, tapping the screen mildly. “I just bought you. Why act up now?”
Penny restarted herptop, but for some reason, it was showing <b>her </b>a blue screen<b>. </b>For the next ten minutes, Penny rebooted herptop and did some troubleshooting. But after exhausting all her efforts at the moment, she found herself in disbelief.
“I just bought you!” she gasped, ring at the second–handptop before her. “Did I get scammed<b>?!</b>”
Penny sped her chest and mentally screamed. This was the pain of buying second–hand items. Sometimes, they were legit steals, but most of the time, they were faulty.
“I should’ve bought a brand new one,” she muttered, looking at herptop bitterly. “Tch. Now of all times…”
She trailed off when Chunchun suddenly leaped onto the study desk. She watched her pretty cat saunter toward herptop, walk over to her keyboard, and then walk back before it sat down in
the middle.
“Chunchun…” <b>Penny </b>pursed <b>her </b>lips and puffed her cheeks. “Are you the culprit?”
She knew it!
She didn’t make a mistake when she bought thisptop!
Haines also met up with the seller <b>and </b>he told her they went to the technician to double–check the item. There was no way thisptop was faulty unless it was getting abused by something. Only then did Penny notice some dents on the corner of herptop, as if something <b>had </b>been biting it.
“Oh, the struggles of being a pet owner,” she mumbled helplessly, caressing Chunchun’s fur<b>. </b>
Even though it was obvious what happened here, Penny couldn’t find it in her heart to get angry at Chunchun. This was not the first time Chunchun ruined something. There were also times when her cat would rip her entire notebook apart. It was how Penny learned to hide some important things in her drawer.
“It’s okay.” She smiled. “It’s not like we can do anything anyway, since it’s the weekend.”
At the same time Penny said those words, a knock came to the door.
“Miss Penny, dinner is ready.” Butler Jen opened the door and offered her a <b>smile</b>.
Her lips stretched at the mention of food. Perfect time to soothe her internal pain!

“Coming-!”
After dinner, the Be children gathered in the library for a short study session. Although it was the weekend the next day, they didn’t have the leisure to have breaks.
ter was still catching up to their present lesson before they moved on to advanced lessons. As, on the other hand, had bigger challenges ahead because the bet with the star section still raged on. As for Hugo, he was dragged here by As to answer some questions.
Hugo cupped his face, eyes on his notebook, tapping the end of the pen against the open book
next to it.
‘<i>Is </i>this even part <i>of </i>our lesson?’ he wondered as he tried to analyze the third question As had given him. ‘Or <i>is </i><i>this </i>his revenge for <i>asking </i>him to <i>sign </i><i>up </i><b><i>for </i></b><i>Penny’s </i>fans‘ <i>club</i>?”
But why would As feel upset about supporting their little sister?
As, on the other hand, would cast Hugo a nce every once in a while. The corner of his mouth hooked up briefly, but he didn’t say anything.
As for ter and Penny…

ter puckered his lips, bncing his pen between his upper lip and nose. His eyes darted between Penny’s side profile and then on his answer sheet.
<i>‘Why </i>is she not talking about the fans club? he wondered because this had been on his <b>mind </b>the whole day.
ter wasn’t surprised that James and Keith’s formerckey signed up to curry favor. Their rtionship with Keith was irreparable, and Penny was their only hope. They were so pathetic, but ter felt even more pathetic for getting bullied by them.
His other ssmates signed up just because they were friends with the girls that were recruiting, while very few found Penny adorable. They wanted to support Penny’s “little” <b>dream</b>. Hence, they sighed up. ter also signed up for his sister’s little dream.
<b>“</b>But now, it didn’t seem like it’s her dream to have <i>a </i>fans club,‘ he thought. <i>Does </i>she even know about <i>the </i>fans <i>club</i>? Or does she feel shy about it?”
“Did you leave it somewhere?”
Penny’s voice brought ter back to the currentpse. “Huh?”
“Third Brother, these ten questions are just a repeat of yesterday’s questions. I’m just testing you if you remember, she exined. “Where did you leave your mind again? We’ll go pick it up.”
“Oh. Used to her way of talking, ter blinked at his answer sheet. “Right. <b>Sorry</b>. I’ll do it again.”
His tamed reaction caused her brows to elevate. “Third Brother, is there’s something wrong?”

“You seemed distracted,” she pointed out. <i>I </i><i>didn’t </i>see James‘ report today. <i>Don’t </i><i>tell </i>me he was <b>getting </b>picked on again?”
“Ah… ha ha. It’s nothing
“Are you sure?”
“He probably heard about the fans” club.” This time, As broke his silence.
The other three looked up at him before her brothers redirected their attention to her. Her under–eye twitched as she forced augh.
“How did you… how did you hear that? sheughed awkwardly. “That’s nothing. My friends are just so fond of me that they think they should start a fans club.
“You have good friends,” Hugo smiled, pleased to hear that Penny was having friends. Although she already mentioned it during their dinner with their parents, it was nice to hear that her friends were doing more for her. “I signed up for it.”
Penny’s face went nk. “Ah?”
“My team also signed up, so you have plenty of members. Brother As also signed up.” Hugo turned to As curiously. “First brother, how many ssmates did you manage to recruit?”
The vein in As’s forehead protruded but still answered. “All of them.”
“Oh! Me too! I signed up!” ter chimed in, in case they thought he was being useless. “Some of my ssmates also signed up!”
“Great!” Hugo pped happily and set his eyes back to Penny. “Now, you have enough members for the fans club. Your friends, First Brother’s ssmates, ter’s ssmates, and my team! That’s not a bad number. You won’t feel intimidated by other clubs.”
Not a bad number? It was too much! Who said she ever wanted a fans club in the first ce?! Penny was so rendered speechless she ended up giving ter another answer sheet before. <b>hiding </b><b>in </b>her room.
What they didn’t know was that at this moment, Lily was busy screening the sign–up sheet and was astounded by the number of students who wanted to join Penny’s fans‘ club. It was more than anyone would ever expect!=
