Ethan smirked. “This is a date that belongs only to me, so I don’t want anyone to disturb it.”

Ava turned off her Holoband and looked at the cruise ships on the river outside the window. “When I was little, my biggest dream was to buy my grandfather a big house by the sea when I grew up. I’d buy him a boat as well, and take him to see the ocean.”

Ethan listened quietly. His refined, clean features were filled entirely with Ava’s reflection. “I’ll take you to see the ocean in the future.”

Ava turned her head back and smiled. “Alright. I’ve never seen the ocean in my life, anyway.”

After dinner, Ethan took Ava for a slow walk along the riverside path.

A gentle night breeze blew. Ava strolled along the riverbank, while children ran through the crowd, laughter filling the air.

Ethan held her hand, walking slowly while constantly paying attention to their surroundings. Neither of them spoke, only the rolling river water kept lapping against the embankment again and again.

By the time they returned to the Morren Residence, it was already 10.30 p.m.

Ava took a shower before turning on her Holoband. She still hadn’t replied to Keith and Mason’s messages, so she quickly gave Ryan a call.

Ryan only answered when the call was about to automatically disconnect.

“Calling me now, eh? I called you, and you didn’t answer, and you even hung up directly!” Ryan complained, his expression looking somewhat displeased.

“Ryan, are you mad at me?” Ava asked.

Ryan frowned slightly. “You hung up on me. Of course I’m mad now.”

“I wasn’t deliberately ignoring your calls. It’s just that school has just started, and I’ve also just made a few friends, so I need to build relationships with my classmates. It’s really not convenient. You know your face -if my classmates saw it, I wouldn’t be able to explain things clearly.”

Ava could only make excuses for herself. She couldn’t let him know she’d been with Ethan. If the two

) brothers started fighting, she would be the one left dealing with the aftermath.

“Am I embarrassing to you? You’re always keeping me hidden.”

“No, absolutely not! I would never think that! It’s just that I want to keep our relationship low-key. Once the time is right, I’ll definitely introduce you to everyone, telling them you’re my man.”

This successfully pleased Ryan, and the dissatisfaction from earlier vanished instantly. “That’s more like it. You have to officially announce our relationship online, got it? I’m not some shameful underground lover.”

Ava quickly nodded in agreement.

“On Wednesday night, you must come. If you stand me up, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life!”

“Just so happens I don’t have class that night. I’ll leave right after my afternoon classes,” she replied.

The two chatted a while longer before saying goodnight to each other. Ava rubbed her temples, looking at the two unread messages on her Holoband, and felt a headache coming on.

After taking a few breaths to steady herself, Ava sent replies to Keith and Mason.

Soon, Mason replied.

Mason: I’ll be back from my business trip tomorrow. Do you have time? Let’s have dinner together.

Ava: I have time. Let’s meet.

Mason: Alright, I’ll have someone pick you up tomorrow afternoon. I’ll only arrive on Capitol Planet around 6 p.m.

Ava: Are you sure about tomorrow? You’ve been on a business trip all this time and haven’t had proper rest either.

Mason: You still have school the day after tomorrow. First-year coursework is heavy, and you can’t skip class.

Ava: Alright, I’ll wait for you tomorrow night.

Mason: Okay. Go to sleep. I still have some work to fin

Ava: Bye.

Ava stood up and walked to the fish tank, looking at the two small fish inside, thinking that when she returned to school, she might as well bring them along. No one was staying at the Morren Residence anyway, and she wouldn’t be back every week.

Her Holoband rang again.

Ava glanced at it and tapped to answer.

“What are you doing, Ava?”

Keith’s face came into view. He seemed to have just finished showering-his hair still faintly damp, dressed in a wine-red silk pajama set. From what could be seen behind him, he was likely in his room.

Ava adjusted the camera angle. “I’m checking on these two fish. I was away for a month and thought they might not make it, but they’re actually doing just fine.”

Keith glanced at the fish tank and smiled. “Yeah, they’re pretty lively.”

Ava turned the camera back toward herself. “Are you about to go to bed?”

“No, I just got back from the lab and took a shower.” Keith’s smile deepened a little. “Don’t be late for
