Ronin had gotten Catherine’s ss schedule before he got his own. He knew better than Catherine


    what sses she had that day.


    Catherine left the dorm room early. There were more than 10 minutes before ss, allowing Catherine


    to finish her breakfast in peace.


    “Catherine, are you really nning to spend four years studying here?”


    He had initially thought that Catherine was just there to experience college life, but now it seemed like


    she was getting more and more into the college student mindset. He was starting to have trouble


    understanding what she meant.


    For Catherine, spending her days in the base doing research and projects was not different from going


    to college. For now, she was satisfied with her current life and had no ns to change it.


    “Let’s take it one step at a time. Who knows what the future holds?”


    Ronin agreed with her decision. For him, he would agree with anything she said.


    Catherine stuffed thest piece of pastry into her mouth, wiped her hands with a tissue, and stood up to


    head toward the ssroom.


    “ss is about to start. Hurry up.”


    Catherine’s concern was greatly appreciated by Ronin. He nodded obediently, quickly tidied up, and


    assured Catherine, “Don’t worry, Catherine. I won’t bete.”


    The first ss was taught by the most famous professor in the university, Marshall Hartley. The EIE


    department students were eagerly waiting for Professor Hartley’s ss.


    When Catherine entered the ssroom, it was already full of people. Her presence immediately caught


    everyone’s attention. Her arrogant yet beautiful face was truly eye-catching. Coupled with the great


    presence she possessed, even if she tried to be low- key, it was difficult not to attract people’s


    attention.


    Amelia had been in the ssroom for a while and hadn’t seen Catherine. She didn’t expect Catherine


    to leave the dorm room earlier than her but arriveter. She quickly raised her hand and greeted


    Catherine.


    “Catherine, over here!”


    Upon hearing the voice, Catherine walked straight toward Amelia and sat down next to her. As soon as


    Catherine sat down, Amelia couldn’t wait to approach her, chattering away.


    “Catherine, didn’t you leave the dorm earlier than me? How did you end upingter?”


    Out of politeness, Catherine responded with a few words, “I went to have breakfast.”

    Amelia looked envious and said, ”


    Catherine, it’s good to wake up early. I didn’t have breakfast, and now I’m so hungry. Could you please


    wake me up in the morning?”


    Catherine nced at her and said, “It seems that you wake up earlier than me.


    “Well…” Amelia scratched the back of her head awkwardly and said, “From now on, I’ll finish cleaning


    up as soon as possible.”


    Even though Amelia woke up early that morning, she didn’t eat breakfast because she was dragging


    her feet.


    Catherine reached into her pocket, took out a handful of choctes, and ced them on the desk.


    “Here.”


    These choctes were specially prepared for her by Branden to replenish her energy when she had


    low blood sugar. They tasted good.


    Amelia didn’t hesitate to take them and put one in her mouth. At first, Amelia didn’t pay much attention


    to it. After chewing a few bites, she realized that the chocte was really delicious.


    “Catherine, where did you buy it? It tastes so good. I want to buy some too.”


    Catherine shrugged indifferently. “I don’t know. A friend of mine gave it to me.”


    Upon hearing that, Amelia took out her phone and searched for it herself. After all, nowadays, it was


    easy to search for a specific product, thanks to the powerful image recognition function of all kinds of


    apps.


    When the search wasplete and the results appeared, Amelia was dumbfounded. She carefully


    read the details of the product, including the weight on the packaging. She was almost choked by her


    saliva in shock.


    The chocte she had just eaten cost a three-digit number, and Catherine had given her around eight


    choctes.


    In other words, the choctes Catherine had just given her cost over four digits.


    Amelia thought of the moment when she said that she also wanted to buy some, feeling embarrassed.


    However, Catherine didn’t mock her, which proved that Catherine treated her as her good friend.


    After hesitating for a moment, Amelia quietly pushed the remaining choctes toward Catherine.


    “Catherine, I can’t ept them. They’re too expensive.”


    Catherine had never checked the price of this kind of chocte before. She raised an eyebrow and


    looked at Amelia. “Expensive?”


    “Yes.” Amelia nodded. “It’s from Itasca, very expensive. No wonder it tastes so good.”


    Catherine pursed her lips and smiled lightly, saying calmly, “There are many high-quality imitations on


    the market now. Just take them.”


    “High-quality imitations?” Amelia was somewhat conflicted. “Could high- quality imitations taste this


    good?” she asked inwardly.


    Soon, the bell for ss rang.


    Seeing that Catherine had no intention of taking back the choctes, Amelia carefully put them away


    and ced them in her pocket.


    ck, ck, ck…


    The sound of high heels tapping on the floor could be heard from outside, followed by a graceful figure


    entering the ssroom.


    “Hello, everyone. I am your teaching assistant, Jada Facer. Today is the first ss at Styre University,


    and I’m sorry to inform you all that Professor Hartley is busy with an experiment and won’t be able to


    make it to this ss for the time being.”


    Catherine didn’t pay much attention at first, but when she heard the name Jada, she looked up. As she


    raised her head, Jada seemed to have noticed her presence as well. Jada looked her way.


    Their eyes met, and Jada was momentarily stunned. She didn’t expect to see Catherine there. Her


    eyebrows furrowed, and she said with displeasure, “We are about to start the ss, so unrted


    people should leave immediately.”


    While speaking, she kept her gaze fixed on Catherine. At first, the other students didn’t notice it. But as


    Jada continued to dy the start of the ss, it caught their attention.


    The temporary president of the EIE ssmates Union, Sophia Miller, immediately counted the number


    of students and stood up to report to Jada.


    “All the students from the EIE ss are present today. No one is absent.”


    Catherine remained calm, sitting silently without being affected in the slightest. She wanted to know


    what Jada was going to do there.


    Amelia had a feeling that Jada’s gaze was particrly unfriendly. She couldn’t help but ask, “Jada, do


    you think Catherine is not a student in our ss? She’s the top student personally recruited by


    Professor Hartley from Casier. Professor Hartley even had a public dispute with a professor from the


    prestigious University of Penny just to recruit her. If she’s not in our ss, nobody here is.”


    As soon as the words fell, Jada’s face instantly darkened.


    The student recruited by Marshall turned out to be Catherine, which shocked Jada to the core.
