Due to Sophia’s game character being hijacked by Scary Phoenix, she felt gloomy for the next couple of days.
She heard that Hale went to the gaming company himself and met the company’s boss. He even slammed his hand on the boss’ desk, demanding a response, but the boss said that there was nothing he could do because this was just a normal interaction between players. Their company wouldn’t interfere with any matters in the game unless cheating was involved.
When she got the news, she was completely dumbfounded.
What else can I do now? I can only train a new character.
In a blink of an eye, it was already December, and the weather became colder day by day. It had been almost a semester since Sophia became a student of Bayside University.
Ever since Stanley showed up that day, Richard and Xyla had stopped bothering her. Michael was still abroad shooting his movie, so Sophia felt as free as a bird.
If only Stanley would stop pestering me every day.
The School of Economics and Business Administration was not far away from the School of Computer Science, and Sophia needed to be there every day to pick up Nathan, so it was hard to not run into Stanley frequently—especially with his dazzling round head and swaggering beatboxing. It was impossible to not bump into him.
It was almost winter, so Sophia put on some winter clothes. It was an adorable parent-child outfit that consisted of a milky-white coral fleece jacket and a big hoodie in the shape of a bunny’s head. The two drooping bunny ears on the hoodie were extremely cute. On the other hand, Nathan also wore a tiny coral fleece jacket with a milky-white bunny hoodie.
His expression was cold as he felt hugely embarrassed, but he didn’t say anything.
In Sophia’s eyes, his silence meant that he liked it very much.
The weather was cold, and they couldn’t ride the motorbike like they used to, so Hale came to school every day to send them back home. Everyday, she would pick Nathan up on time before returning home together.
Today, the moment she picked up Nathan, the burst of an exaggerated beatboxing was heard. Stanley flew over in his motorbike and saw them, so he stopped beside them and pushed up the goggles on his helmet. He greeted them affectionately, “Sophie, you’re babysitting, huh?”
He always assumed that Sophia was Nathan’s babysitter, and she didn’t tell him the truth to prevent him from being jealous if he found out she was the wife of his beloved Uncle Michael.
She answered, “Yes. Now is my working hour, so I need to babysit him.”
Then, Stanley enthusiastically took out a few movie tickets from his bag. “Come. Let’s watch a movie together. Uncle Michael’s new movie is now released, and I got us the best seats!”
Sophia had a look at the tickets. They were indeed tickets to Michael and Harry’s new movie that premiered in the early hours of the morning. The movie was called ‘High School Romance’, and it was about passionate highschoolers. Michael and Harry played two opposing school hunks, and the story was about them going after each other for the beloved campus belle.
This is the first time Tay Tay played a naive brain-dead school hunk!
She was already excited when she saw the movie poster, so she initially planned to bring Nathan to the cinema today.
However, she pretended to be indifferent about it. “Fine. Since you’ve already bought the tickets, I’ll just reluctantly watch it.”
Suddenly, Gary, who was sitting in front of Michael in the limousine, heard his voice. “Contact the people of Paragon Cinema and tell them that I’ll be visiting the University Shopping Mall tonight.”
Paragon Cinema was the most high-end cinema near Bayside University, so many students would come here to watch movies, especially movies with Michael in it. Most people who missed the afternoon show rushed over here to catch the 7PM show. After lectures ended, this was the perfect time to come over to catch a movie, so there were a lot of familiar faces here.
When everyone saw Sophia together with Stanley, they revealed an understanding smile.
It seems the two of them are really a couple.
They came early, and the hall wasn’t open yet, so Sophia pulled Nathan over to win a doll from the claw machine. Stanley was following them closely from behind with a box of popcorn and Coke in his hands.
The chances of running into an acquaintance at the cinema was high. When Sophia was playing with the claw machine, Richard and Xyla arrived.
Xyla held the movie ticket happily. “Richard, in the future, if the movie I’m in is released, I will book a whole cinema just for you to watch!”
Richard lowered his head lovingly to look at the innocent fairy-like girl. “That’ll be happening soon. I’ve already recommended you to a filming crew. They’ll give you a supporting actress role first so that there won’t be much pressure on you; the main actor is Taylor Murray!”
“Richard, I love you so much!” She cleverly gave him a kiss on his cheek.
The two of them held their hands as they entered the cinema. They also bought tickets for the 7PM movie, ‘High School Romance’. The moment they entered the cinema, they immediately saw the claw machine next to the waiting area and the ‘family of three’ beside it.
