“If so, I’ll never bother you during my lessons again,” the mathematics teacher said.Leon Batton smiled instantly. “Okay. You said so.”“I did indeed. Come and answer it.”The teacher specifically prepared this question for them. She wanted them to realize instantly that they still needed to learn.She thought they’d been too arrogant lately and did whatever they wanted just because they were academically gifted.This question was based on content taught at universities, making it more difficult than usual.It should be impossible for the duo to answer it correctly.Meanwhile, they seemed calm as they stood up and walked toward the podium.After that, they picked up their pens and began writing down their answers on both ends of the whiteboard.Everyone started muttering then—“She’s trying to make life difficult for them. They can’t possibly answer it correctly.”“This isn’t even high school content. No matter how smart Lynette and Leon are, they can’t answer it. Right?”
“They are indeed geniuses in order to answer such a difficult question correctly.”“I’ve never even seen a question like that before.”“What’s in their brains?”“I just realized that Lynette and Leon truly deserve the title of the top students in our school.”The students were still offering compliments to the siblings, while the mathematics teacher remained stunned.She never expected this to happen.Lynette Batton and Leon Batton were much more intelligent than she imagined.After a few seconds, she regained her composure and gazed at the siblings. “How did you do that? This is university level stuff. It’s taught in the final year.”Leon grinned. “I happened to have seen it online. The two of us did some research on it.”The rest of the students were even more surprised to hear this.If possible, they admired the siblings even more now.The teacher never expected this. Initially, she only wanted to teach them a lesson by posing a difficult question.However, in the end, s
The mathematics teacher was annoyed, but she couldn’t do anything about it since she had made the promise.As soon as the lesson ended, students began discussing current news in the entertainment industry—“Did you know that Josh Batton’s movie will be coming out soon? I think it’s going to be out in a month during summer. I want to go watch it.”“Me, too! I admire Josh.”“He hasn’t aged a day. There isn’t a man more glorified than him in the entertainment industry. My parents are extremely against me chasing after celebrities, but they don’t mind if it’s Josh.”“Do you guys have any way of meeting Josh in person? I want to meet him in person.”“To be honest, meeting Josh in person is nearly impossible. Apart from appearing on film sets, Josh is nowhere to be seen.”“If only I were part of his family. I’d be able to see my idol every day.”Lynette Batton and Leon Batton exchanged glances with knowing looks.They were part of that family, although they didn’t feel as intensely
On the field, Lynette Batton and Leon Batton walked side-by-side, clad in English-style uniforms.Leon wore a dark blue uniform with a white shirt, a black tie, and black leather shoes. He seemed like a male protagonist from a television drama.Meanwhile, his sister wore a similar uniform except paired with a dark blue, high-waisted skirt, a pair of black knee-highs, and black English-style leather shoes.His hair was combed neatly and parted in a three-to-seven ratio, while her hair was long, black, and curly.Although they had similar facial features, they radiated different vibes.Leon appeared handsome and aloof, while his sister seemed pretty and elegant.A gentle breeze lifted Lynette’s skirt by the hem ever so slightly. She could pass off as a female protagonist from a well-made television drama.Many people couldn’t resist the urge to take their pictures, which all turned out well.The siblings looked flattering no matter from which angle.Lynette naturally rested her
Lynette Batton and Leon Batton gazed at each other as his words instantly made her feel warm inside.She knew her brother had the best intentions for her own good most of the time, even though he came across as unreasonable sometimes.“Leon, don’t you think you’re being unrealistic?" she asked in exasperation. "Everyone needs to grow up. Once we are adults, it's inevitable to engage in some things that are complicated and impure.“Nobody’s world can always remain pure and clean,” she added, feeling like he was being ludicrous.However, Leon wore a subdued expression as he stared at her. “It might be impossible for others, but not for you. I will stay by your side and protect you forever. You will always remain uncorrupted where you don’t have to worry about anything.“I will stand in front of you to block anything tainted and difficult in the world while you don’t even have to lift a finger. You only have to sit still and look pretty,” he added.Ever since Leon became mature enou
“Leon, we’re very lucky, to be honest,” Lynette Batton said with a wistful smile as she gazed at Leon Batton.He returned her smile with a nod. “Yeah.”“Lots of kids from a family like ours have their entire future mapped out for them already. They don’t even have the right to dream,” she added. “But, you and I are different.”Her brother nodded in agreement.Their parents had only requested the siblings to study well, stay healthy, and be happy. They even encouraged them to chase after their dreams.As a result, the teens were much happier and felt less pressure than their peers.Lynette and Leon enjoyed this kind of lifestyle.“I heard Uncle Josh had to face a lot of resistance from family members when he first joined the entertainment industry. In fact, our grandfather refused to forgive him for a long time. “Our dad is also different from Uncle Josh.” Lynette’s eyes sparkled when she talked about Stanley Batton.Her distinct facial features were even more apparent with th
The girl quickly ran off within moments. Her departure spurred a flurry of comments from the people around them—“There are all sorts of people in the world. Who does she think she is? How dare she ask Leon to accompany her on the piano?”“Exactly. Why would Leon accompany someone else on the piano? What a joke.”“You’re wrong. Leon would accompany someone else on the piano, but that person could only be Lynette.”“That’s right. Does she think she’s Lynette?”Lynette Batton instantly frowned upon hearing their comments. “All right. Quiet down, everyone.”Abruptly, everyone quietened.She then peeked at Leon Batton. “Leon, how could you turn that girl down in front of so many people?”Her brother frowned slightly. “I don’t like her, so why can't I turn her down?”From his perspective, it was necessary to be cold and be dismissive if he didn’t like that person.He wouldn't want to give them the wrong idea.“Fine. I will never get through your thick skull,” Lynette sighed.“
Leon Batton and Lynette Batton didn’t need to dress up to look good. As vibrant youths, they seemed glamorous enough in their simple school uniforms.Seeing her children reminded Xyla Quest of her time in school when she was as glamorous and free-spirited as they were now.The siblings noticed their mother's presence when the song ended.Lynette chuckled playfully before quickly running over to wrap one arm around hers. “Mommy, what did you think of our performance?”Leon stood up and smiled at her from afar. “Hi, Mommy.”Xyla nodded slightly and peered at them. “Hmm...my son and daughter are the best," she praised. "Lynette, I heard from your father that you want to become an idol. Is that so?”Her daughter nodded instantly. “Yes, I hope to be an influential person like Uncle Josh. I would be able to reach out to many people with my abilities.”Xyla gave her a 'thumbs up' motion when she heard her. “Sure. You have my full support. “Why don't you join under my company? I’ll ma
