211 Burning coldness
When the star section students left the horror booth, Ray quickly jogged to Dean’s side.
“Dean, do you really know Penny?” he asked out of plain curiosity. “But how? You don’t even come to school.”
Dean gazed at Ray and smiled. “I always know what’s happening here.”
“Ehh, that’s impossible. Ray elbowed his side. “Seriously. How did you know Penny?”
“I didn’t know her. Dean looked ahead and his smile stretched. “I just find her… interesting.”
Ray rocked his head. “Well, she’s indeed interesting. Hehe.” He then took out the newly printed picture of her and chuckled.
“Look at her. She’s so cute!” he showed it to Dean. “Now, I can send it to Renren, so he finally understands why I even signed up for this fan club. Even that standee is so cute! I want one!”
Dean glanced at the picture and smiled when Ray gazed back at him again. “She does look cute. Keep it safe, Ray
“Of course!” Ray nodded. “This is precious. Once she grows up, I’ll show this to her!” a
“You don’t even know if you still like her by then.”
“Hehe. Penny might not become my girlfriend in the future, but I’ll take her as a baby sister, She’s so cute-!” (
Dean chuckled and casually waltzed through the crowded hallway. It wasn’t like they had to squeeze themselves through, since most students would make way for them.
As for the girls with them, Cassandra clutched Kiara’s shoulder while weeping a little. “That’s so scary, Kiara. Good thing you came with me when Ray dragged me here as support for Penny.
Kiara glanced at Cassandra and sighed faintly. The look in her eyes, however, sharpened when they landed on Dean’s back. Her glare intensified when she shifted them to Ray’s back.
‘He said he’ll take a picture of her for me.“She mentally clenched her teeth, unable to resist Penny’s cuteness. T’ll make him pay next time he asks me for a favor.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the world…
“Renren, is everything okay?” Old Mrs. Pierson worriedly sat on the edge of the hospital bed while Renren was bark coughing. Her eyes shone with deep worry, thinking that she took her grandson here in hopes he would get better. a
However, the moment Renren arrived in the country, he started feeling ill and then ran a high fever. When they thought he recovered, he would keep showing other symptoms that hadn’t. been showing for quite some time now..
This looks the same as when he was first diagnosed after the incident,‘ she thought, thinking that her decision was wrong.

“Renren,” she called and reached out for a glass of water when Renren finally stopped coughing. “Here, just take a sip. It’ll make you feel better.”
Renren offered a meek smile and took the glass from her, taking just a sip. After that, he lay
down and closed his eyes.
“Renren,” his grandmother called again, her voice was filled with worry and panic. “Are you hurt anywhere else? Or do you still feel sick?”
Slowly, Renren opened his eyes and gazed at his worried grandmother. “I’m okay, Grandma. Didn’t the doctor tell you that this is a part of the therapy?”
Old Mrs. Pierson knew that. Since they stopped all the medicines Renren had been taking and his body was going through withdrawal, he looked sicker and more tired than ever. She wouldn’t even agree with this treatment if not for the fact that Ray’s grandfather recommended this specialist.
“Just tell me if you need anything else,” said Old Mrs. Pierson with a smile as she cradled his slender hands with both her hands. “Don’t worry about anything else for now, hmm? Grandma is already looking for a way so you can contact Thursday Girl.”
Renren’s eyes lit up, but then he went completely silent.
“Renren, is everything okay? Are you hurt anywhere now? Where?” she panicked again because, in her eyes, he just froze as if he forgot he had to breathe. “Renren?”
“Why didn’t I ask… for her number? Renren mumbled, a mix of shock and disbelief in his voice. “It would’ve been easier that way” 2
that way, eze
Although Renren rarely used his phone, if he got Penny’s number, they could always stay in touch every Thursday. Penny lived in a nice neighborhood and for sure, she also had the means to keep a friendship despite the long distance.
“But then again, I didn’t even ask her name until after some time,” he muttered again, his face gloomy, but not as sickly.
Old Mrs. Pierson could only sigh. “You are really fond of that girl, are you?”
“She’s very sweet.”
“She must be.” Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, seeing that there was some vibrance in Renren’s eyes when she asked the question. “Renren, why don’t you tell me about her?”
“Hmm…” Renren hummed. “She’s white and wide like a snowman.” (2
Old Mrs. Pierson chuckled. “She must be very cute!”
“She is cute… like a snowman
