MasukElaine's POVThe next day, following my usual routine after Maxine dropped me off at school, I prepared myself for another heavy round of studying. Since I didn't get any reading done yesterday, I needed to catch up on the topics I missed across my subjects.Exams were fast approaching, and I wouldn't be able to finish reviewing everything unless I completely focused."I really need to concentrate," I whispered to myself, letting out a heavy sigh as the weight of my pending study list grew. "Why are you even complaining when you thoroughly enjoyed your date yesterday?"After completing my first five subjects, I had a one-hour free time. Because my classroom was too noisy, I had no choice but to head back to the library, where it was quiet enough to study properly. A few minutes later, I arrived at the library, sat down at a table, and began flipping through my books. I also needed to copy my classmates' notes so I would have a reliable reviewer.A few quiet minutes passed. Suddenly, s
After dropping her off, Xian drove Maxine to the park. She wanted to talk to him about a few things.As soon as they arrived at the park, they stopped in a parking lot."If we were just going to talk, why did we even have to come here?""I needed to get away from the house. I don't trust Elaine.""What do you mean?" Xian asked."Elaine discovered that she can hear things even from a very far distance," Maxine answered. "I didn't want her hearing what we're going to talk about."Xian was surprised to learn this from Maxine, realizing that Elaine's abilities were gradually manifesting.Maxine pointed out that this was completely normal, as Elaine would soon receive her moon blessing once her birthday arrived."What's not normal is her extraordinary strength and ability while in human form."Xian let out a sigh, deeply worried about what might happen to Elaine once she received the moon blessing."I'm terrified of what could happen to her.""Someone with special powers like hers is valua
Elaine's POVAfter our date, he dropped me off at Maxine's house. We decided to cancel our other plans because I had classes at school the next day.While we were stuck in traffic inside the car, I thought of something to talk about so we wouldn't get bored."The traffic is so bad right now, it's driving me crazy," I said, complaining."Traffic is normal around here. Hey, do you want to play some music?" Xian asked."Huh? No, I'd rather just talk to you," I replied with a smile.Since Xian couldn't think of anything to discuss, he simply asked what I wanted to talk about. The truth was, I really just wanted to find out more about Xian and Ivy's relationship."Um... could you tell me what things were like between you and Ivy when you were students together?""Elaine... I don't think my relationship with Ivy is a good topic. I already told you, she's just a friend," Xian answered."I know that, and I really get jealous whenever I think about the fact that you used to be lovers while goi
Elaine's POV After stopping by the boutique to pick out an outfit, we got back into the car and drove off toward our first destination for the date. "Where are we actually going?" I asked. "There's a popular waterpark in Hagenai. It should take about an hour to get there. We'll start our date there," Xian replied. "A waterpark? Is it nice there?" "I'm not sure, I've never been to one, but according to the internet, it's a favorite spot for couples." I didn't know if it was a great place or not, but no matter where Xian took me, I knew I'd be happy just being on a date with him. A few minutes later, we arrived at our destination. It was a massive waterpark and a well-known attraction in town. As soon as we stepped out of the vehicle, a cool, refreshing breeze greeted us, carrying a faint scent of chlorine from the sprawling facility. This waterpark really was huge. Even from the outside, you could see towering waterslides twisting through the air and lush trees planted all aro
Elaine's POV The next day, as I walked down from the building to head to school, I crossed paths with Maxine, who was on her way back upstairs. "Wait, where are you going? Aren't you going to walk me down?" "Not this time. Someone else wants to take you. He's waiting downstairs." Curious about what she meant, I continued down. A few moments after stepping out of the building, I spotted Xian's car in the parking lot. "Xian? Wait, he's the one taking me?" I was surprised to see him and never expected him to show up this early just to drive me to school. He had me sit in the front passenger seat and drove us away. "Good morning. I asked Maxine if I could take you instead." Inside the car, I couldn't bring myself to speak. The truth was, I didn't know what to do or even what to say to him. "Elaine, before anything else, I want to apologize for everything that's been happening between us." "I know you're confused and struggling with our situation, especially after you left my c
After seeing the commotion outside the building, where about thirty people had gathered in front, a sudden sense of dread washed over Elaine. Terrified by what was happening, she immediately backed away and bolted toward the third floor to get inside her apartment.Before she could get far, however, the gym door swung open and Maxine stepped out. Elaine crossed paths with the two of them in the hallway, but she hurried past without a word and headed straight upstairs."Huh?"The two bodyguards immediately hurried up to the second floor to brief Xian's father about the gathering outside."Sir William, something is happening outside the building.""What? Is there a problem?"They quickly went downstairs to check on the situation. Some people were still lingering around, while others were already leaving their posts."What is going on here?""We aren't sure, sir. They suddenly rushed over and approached the building.""One of them said they sensed a presence near the building, but it van
