Semua Bab Blood Isn't Everything: Bab 11 - Bab 20

"I've been thinking about that too," Ronan said, tearing open the wrapper of his ice pop as he glanced at Dennis. "Dennis… I want to borrow some money.""No problem." Dennis went to the wardrobe and pulled out 500 dollars. "Will this be enough? If not, I can hit the bank tomorrow.""This is more than enough." Ronan took the money, smiling. "Thanks, bro. I'll pay you back as soon as I can.""Shut up thanking me," Dennis said with a scowl, punching him lightly.He was the only one who really understood Ronan's family situation. Being local to Malva City, he had even gone to the same high school as Ronan, though they had never met there.He despised the Vance family from the bottom of his heart. He thought they were complete fools. Even his own father had said the same behind closed doors.With this money, Ronan could handle a lot. Tomorrow, he would go talk to the forum administrator about paying for a promoted slot and running ads. Even if his post stayed on the front page for onl

Ronan's academic advisor was named Roger Mallard, thirty-six years old this year.He had barely settled into his office when the door knocked, and Allison stepped inside.Allison was one of the three vice-chairpersons on the board of Galois University of Technology—and widely regarded as the most promising candidate to become chairperson. On top of that, her striking appearance made her highly popular across campus.When Roger saw her, his heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened to any one of his students? Or was there some problem at work?"Miss Vance, what brings you here?" Roger immediately rose to his feet, smiling."Professor Mallard, do you have a student named Ronan in your class?" Allison asked directly."Yes, Ronan is in my class," Roger replied, his voice slightly tense."How's his academic performance?" she continued."Ronan takes his studies very seriously. He's highly interested in the subject and has excellent comprehension. He's already following my c

The first page of the notebook was filled with dense, meticulous handwriting.The first line simply read: Dad.Allison swallowed hard and lowered her gaze, reading on.[Dad likes to play golf, enjoys drinking whiskey, doesn't really like vegetables or pork, and prefers chicken, duck, or beef.[I saw a golf club that looked really nice. Dad would definitely like it, but it's too expensive. When I earn enough money, I will buy that club for him, and also buy him his favorite whiskey.[Today, I noticed that Dad seems to enjoy playing chess, but no one at home plays with him. Seeing him sitting there alone makes me want to join him, but I don't even know how to move the pieces. I'll wait until I learn properly before I play with him.]The next page was about "Mom."[Mom likes collecting jewelry. It's so expensive. I must work hard so that one day, I can buy whatever jewelry she wants.]Allison's heart shook violently as she turned the page with trembling hands.[Allison has an ele

Judy and the other girls turned to look, and Ronan instinctively lifted his gaze as well.The moment he did, his eyes lit up.A girl appeared, standing gracefully in white blouse and jeans, her long black hair cascading down her back. Her beauty was striking, her figure poised and elegant.Ronan was caught off guard by how striking she was. Her face was small and refined, her skin smooth, her eyes bright with an easy clarity. Even her naturally rosy lips added to the impression—effortless, clean, beautiful."It's you?!" Ronan exclaimed, instantly recognizing her.Miley Reinman.No wonder the name seemed so familiar.Miley had been a legend in high school—not because she constantly sought attention, but because she barely attended school. Out of three years, she'd only been present for about a year. Yet her photo and name were displayed on the school's "Outstanding Students" board the entire time.She had the highest grades in the school and, coupled with her stunning looks, was

Last winter, the two of them had been drinking outside when Dennis accidentally bumped into someone. Dennis apologized immediately, but the other person, drunk and looking for trouble, wasn't satisfied.Dennis didn't take it lying down, and a fight broke out on the spot. What he hadn't expected was that the other guy had a dozen friends with him. As soon as they rushed out, things escalated quickly. By then, Ronan and Dennis were already close, so the two of them fought back together.At one point, someone swung a bottle at Dennis. Ronan instinctively stepped in, taking the hit on his head, which left a nasty cut.Unsurprisingly, they got badly beaten in the end.But even lying on the ground, battered and bruised, they exchanged a glance and ended up bursting into laughter. The group of attackers froze, thinking the two of them had truly gone insane.Afterwards, Ronan was taken to the hospital, and the other party paid the medical bills.From that moment on, their bond strengthen
