You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 624

Three years ago

It was in the month of May in Lexingport City and even the nights were hot. The warm wind blew across the area as it was the peak of summer.

Michelle was being dragged to school by her roommate. She was sweating profusely as the hot wind blew against her face.

"I can't run anymore." The moment Michelle opened her mouth, a scorching hot breeze blew into her mouth.

They had only run a few meters when Michelle started feeling tired and could not run any further.

"Lydia..." Michelle said in a low voice, gasping for breath.

"Come on, you can almost see our school gate from here." Saying that, Lydia Wang pulled her forward while checking the time on her watch.

It was almost 11:19 p.m.

"We still have twelve minutes left before our school's curfew starts. If we're late, they will deduct our credit points. I still want to get that national scholarship, Michelle!"

If she had the scholarship, then she would not have to apply for another student loan.

Lydia suddenly bolted, as though she was running for the school marathon.

Michelle felt as though she was flying.

She felt like a kite that Lydia was flying high up in the air.

However, it was Michelle's fault that they were late. She had spent too much time trying out all the delicious food at the food street that she had caused them both to be late.

Upon realizing that she had caused her roommate a lot of trouble, Michelle felt guilty, and said, "Lydia, there's no need for us to run to sleep in the school dorm."

"Why would you waste money staying at a hotel room when I am sure we can make it in time if we just run a bit faster?"

"There's no need for us to pay for a hotel room, because Nini has given me the key to her apartment outside the campus." Michelle patted the bag that she was wearing. "I have the key in my bag. Besides, today is Tuesday. The prefects won't check on us."

Lydia was running so fast that when she finally stopped, she had already reached the school's gate.

Her heart was racing and drops of sweat trickled down her forehead. She was so exhausted that she felt like she was about to collapse.

Panting, Lydia asked, "Do you really have the key to Nina's apartment?"

"I have the spare key. We can stay there for the night," Michelle replied as she fumbled through her bag until she found the key.

A cute plush rabbit keychain hung form the key.

The two of them were bending down and gasping for breath; they did not notice someone looking at them from the school gate.

It was Leon. His body was partially hidden behind the stone pillar, so they could not see him. However, he could clearly see Michelle's flushed face from afar.

In fact, he noticed them a while ago and thought that they were girls who had forgotten about the curfew. He never expected to see Michelle there.

Upon seeing her sweating, Leon tried to find a tissue from his pockets, but they seemed to be empty.

He never had the habit of bringing tissues. In fact, it was always someone else bringing those things for him to use.

Though he found no tissue, he still walked up to her.

"Michelle, is that you?"

Leon asked in a clear voice as he smiled at her.

To Michelle who was exhausted from the heat, his voice felt like a cool breeze, refreshing and energizing.

She tilted her head up and looked at him. Since she had not seen him in almost a year, she felt really happy and greeted him with a bright smile.

"Leon!"

Seeing that, Leon could tell that she was happy to see him.

He too felt happy from the bottom of his heart. "You're right, it is me!"

Michelle blinked in disbelief. Why was Leon at their school gate?

Stunned to see him, Lydia asked, "So, the wallpaper has come to life?"
