As expected, her words were able to capture his interest.

Elm dropped his backpack, which almost slid off the table. Eileen caught it in time and placed it on the chair beside her

“Since we’re here, let’s get started”

Elm straddled the chair and sat down, casually swinging his leg over the other. “Should we study first, or chat?”

I’m thinking about places. far beyond, not just what’s in front of us right now! Regarding what you said about the Smith family, it’s truly a place beyond the reach of ordinary people, including your brother. He is a privileged person! He is truly wonderful. But for me, there are things far better than these, and I am gradually moving towards my future. Elm, in truth, you and I are the same, wanting to break free from everything… We shouldn’t be like this…” Eileen answered. Everyone should live for themselves instead of becoming a walking corpse.

Afterward, Eileen pushed the math workbook towards him and said, “The simplest and most
