Chapter 122,Coolest Girl in Town
After finishing, Danny handed the chalk to Mr. Winfrey. “Here you go. I’ve solved it.” Looking at Danny’smathematical solution, Mr. Winfrey couldn’t help but feel amazed. He couldn’t believe that Danny couldimprove so much in just a week. He even suspected that Danny had been acting ignorant and stupid allthis while. “Well done! Your steps and answer are correct. It looks like you’ve improved a lot, Danny.Other students should learn from you.”
Immediately, the corner of Danny’s mouth tugged upwards as he made his way down the podium withhis head held high while he enjoyed the attention that the other students were giving him because itwas something that he had never experienced before in his 18 years of life. “You did great,” Elisewhispered to him. Right then, he smiled even brighter and whispered into her ear, “That’s because youtaught me well, Boss.” “Don’t be glib.
The end is yet to come. We still have to work hard.” Hearing this, he gave her a formal salute. “Yes,Boss! I’ll keep up the good work!” With a smile, she resumed reviewing her practice questions andwrote in her book. During recess, he stayed in his seat and did revision exercises instead of doing whathe would usually do. He even rejected his friends’ invitation to play basketball.
That day, what he said most was, “Boss, how should I answer this question? Could you explainquestion 17? How should I draw the force analysis diagram for physics? Can you teach me?” EvenMikayla was surprised by his sudden change of behavior. “Elise, why do I feel like Danny’s become atotally different person? Is he still the Danny I know?” Elise wasn’t sure how to answer this question, soshe turned to glance at Danny and said, “I guess he’s really changed.
After all, he can’t stay at 250 forever.” Confused, Mikayla asked, “250? What do you mean by that?”“His grades! His total score has always been at the edge of 250. Perhaps he came around and decidedto stay away from such an unlucky number,” Elise explained. Upon hearing this, Mikayla couldn’t helpbut laugh. “Now that you mentioned it, Danny seems so inspirational all of a sudden. Besides, I admireyou even more right now for training your apprentice so well without spending much effort.”
Unconvinced, Elise smiled and scratched her head. “This actually means that he’s talented. I didn’treally do much.” After all, a teacher would show the way, but the outcome depended on the student’sown effort. Elise knew this very well. After school, Elise waited at the school entrance for quite sometime, yet Alexander still had not arrived. Even when most of the students had left, she still did not seehis car. So, she took out her phone and called him.
As soon as the call went through, she couldn’t help but ask, “Look at the time. Why are you not hereyet?” However, it was Cameron who answered the phone. Staring at the tightly shut meeting roomdoor, he explained, “Miss Sinclair, Mr. Griffith’s still in a meeting. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to pickyou up. Why don’t you call a taxi?”
Biting her lip, she replied, “Never mind, then. I’ll go home on my own.” Though she had said so, asense of disappointment overwhelmed her as soon as she hung up the phone. “Whatever. I’ll just call acab.” Just as she was about to book a cab, a cool-looking Porsche stopped right in front of her. Thewindow was wound down, revealing Danny’s charming face. “Get in!” She looked up at him. Withoutany hesitation, she kept her phone and hopped into the car.
“Alex sent me a message saying that he can’t pick you up today and asked me to do so instead. And Ihappened to be looking for you,” he said with a smile on his face. Humming a tune, he seemed to be in
a good mood. Not paying attention to what he said, she looked down and opened her textbook. Then,she realized that they were not taking the road back home, so she raised her eyes and questioned,“Where are we going?”
“You’ll replace out later.” He smiled sheepishly. In truth, she felt that he had been acting really weird thatday, but she didn’t ask much until he brought her to a library. “Why did you bring me here?” she askedcuriously. Rubbing his head embarrassedly, he told her, “Hahaha… To do revision, of course. Thislibrary’s owned by the Griffith Group, and it’s not open to the general public. I only found out about itafter hearing it from Alex.
Come, let’s immerse ourselves in the inescapable sea of knowledge.” Hearing this, she wentspeechless. Right after, the two walked into the library. It was huge and had seven floors in total. All thebooks were organized according to their genres. There was a librarian on each floor. When they sawDanny, they stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Young Master Griffith.” “It’s alright. Just do yourstuff. We’re just here to do our homework.”
He waved at them. Seeing this, they retreated. Meanwhile, Elise’s gaze never left the books as soon asshe came in. “Danny, go ahead and do your homework. I’m going to take a walk around.” “Sure, goahead! I’ll look for you if there’s something that I don’t understand,” he replied. With that, she walkedalong the bookshelf and realized that there was a wide range of books here, including out-of-printbooks. It was like a paradise to avid readers.
Just then, a book caught her attention. It was a thick, ancient book in Traditional Chinese. She took itoff the shelf and started flipping through it. Time passed very quickly. Soon, night had fallen, but shewas so absorbed in the book that she didn’t realize it. Finally, Danny found her.
“Turns out you’re here, Boss. It’s getting late. Let’s go home.” It was only then that she came back toher senses. It was already 7.00PM when she checked the time. Wanting to read more, she glanced at
the book in her hands and folded the corner of the page before putting it back in its original place.
“Are we coming again tomorrow?” she asked. Smiling, he gazed at her and nodded. “Of course. Irealized that my head’s clearer when I do my homework here. It’s as if I’m being influenced by thesebooks.” “Reading can take you places.” She couldn’t help but chuckle.
