Baldwin is indeed a student that the professor has high hopes for. Although he and Myrna are not majoring in the same field, they can find some common points when they talk.
When we talked about something in depth, Myrna was quite happy.
She is currently preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. She has already mastered most of the content, but she still doesn’t know much about the current mainstream research directions in her major. This requires reading a lot of papers and accumulating knowledge over time. It cannot be achieved overnight.
In this regard, Baldwin, as a graduate student, is naturally better than Myrna , who has been away from campus for several years.
Behind them, Ansel clenched his fists as he watched the two of them chatting happily.
She was so cruel to herself that no matter how much he begged, she was unwilling to look at him, but she could smile so happily at another man.
Myrna prepared a large table of dishes for all tastes.
Baldwin knew that she was a good cook, but at first glance, he was still shocked by the rich variety of dishes.
“These dishes… are they too much for just the two of us?”
Myrna smiled and said, “You have helped me so much, of course I have to be rich to express my gratitude.”
Baldwin scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: “Actually, I can’t help you much. Your review efficiency is much higher than I thought.”
While reviewing together, he could clearly feel Myrna ‘s progress.
Not only can they draw inferences about other situations through learning, but they also have a very strong ability to absorb knowledge. Basically, there is no need to repeat what has been taught a second time.
“Reviewing is just one of them. What I am most grateful for, besides your help in finding thesis materials, is that thanks to you, I can borrow the original resources that only students of University B can view.”
Baldwin was a little surprised: “So you were studying for the thesis while reviewing…”
He suddenly understood why Professor Thoreau valued her so much.
After eating, Baldwin sat for a while, and when he saw that it was already dark, he stood up and said goodbye.
Myrna walked him downstairs and took out the trash.
“Your cooking is delicious, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Then…” Baldwin scratched his head, “I’ll go back to school first. See you in the library tomorrow?”
“good.”
At this time, Dempsey came towards him. He must have just returned from the laboratory, and his expression still showed a trace of seriousness.
“Professor!” Baldwin stood up immediately, “Do you live in this building too?”
Dempsey looked up and saw Myrna and a boy standing side by side in front of the apartment building.
His eyes fell on Baldwin’s face, which looked familiar.
” From B University ?”
“Yes, Professor Dempsey . I’m from the School of Life Sciences and I’ve taken your Basic Principles of Physics course before.”
“Um.”
Myrna wanted to nod and say hello to Dempsey , but the man didn’t seem to be looking at her.
Baldwin made way and Dempsey went straight up the stairs.
Myrna shrugged.
“I didn’t expect that Professor Dempsey also lives in this unit, what a coincidence!” Baldwin said excitedly, “I’ve attended his lectures before, they were so good, my roommate wanted to get a seat this semester, but it was sold out in seconds. I heard that most of the people who got the seats were girls…”
Dempsey walked to the corner of the stairs and looked back at the two people’s backs.
The boy, if he remembered correctly, should be called… Baldwin ?
This is the first time I see someone else in Myrna?? s house, a boyfriend?
Dempsey looked away and laughed to himself. What did it have to do with him?
After seeing Baldwin off , Myrna went to another alley to throw away the garbage.
Halfway through, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out and grabbed her wrist.
Myrna’s scalp suddenly went numb. Just as she was about to struggle, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, but it was full of weirdness:
“That’s great, Myrna .”
You have a lot of fun with men one after another .”
The man’s tone suddenly became sinister: “Who was that man just now? What did you do upstairs?”
Myrna’s smile suddenly disappeared. Her hands were held so tightly that they hurt. She tried to break free, but the man used brute force.
The more she struggled, the tighter he held her.
” Ansel , let go!”
“Answer me first!”
Myrna frowned and endured the pain: “What does it have to do with you?”
“As an ex-boyfriend, it’s not too much to care about your ex-girlfriend’s love life, right?”
Myrna smiled and raised her eyes calmly: “So, you also know that you are my ex-boyfriend. So, what are you doing here?”
Ansel choked for a moment: “… Can’t I just pass by?”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man walked into the alley angrily, cursing as he walked: “Who parked the car at the alley? Didn’t you see the road is so short? You blocked the entrance. You think you are so great for driving a sports car? You have no manners at all. You don’t even let people pass–”
Ansel : ??????
Myrna immediately recognized the car opposite that was being criticized as Ansel ‘s Porsche.
She was too lazy to care about why he came, so she threw away the garbage and turned around and said, “Even if I have new people, one, two, three or four, it’s none of your business. We have broken up. I don’t need to explain to you what breaking up means, right?”
“Your future has nothing to do with me. Please don’t interfere with my present and future. We…” She paused, “Let’s just be strangers.”
“Also, I don’t know how you found this place, but please don’t come here again. I don’t want your girlfriend to misunderstand you.”
“In the beginning, since I chose to give her a name, I hope you can keep your word and be devoted to her.”
Myrna herself had been caught in the rain and injured, and she didn’t want Susie to suffer the same injury.
At the age of flowers, one should bloom freely and upwards instead of being wasted.
Everyone has their own choice. Ansel chose Susie , and she chose to break up. They should both be responsible for their choices.
Ansel stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long while.
Myrna turned and left.
Ansel looked at her back and felt anxious for the first time.
It seemed as if something that belonged to him was about to slip away. He tried to hold on to it, but found that he couldn’t catch it at all.
“?? Are you serious, Myrna ?”
“Yes.” She didn’t even look back.
“You said that before…”
It’s not like they haven’t had fights before, but none of them had made Ansel this panicked.
She said the word “break up” so calmly, as if… she would really never come back.
Ansel reached out his hand to keep her, but he couldn’t utter a word.
He was the one who proposed the breakup, and he was the first to let go of her hand…
Myrna returned home and sat quietly on the sofa.
Ansel would come.
Compared to the hasty breakup and departure last time, this time it feels more like a real farewell.
??
Myrna left, Ansel stood downstairs for a long time without moving, until the old man who could no longer bear it was ready to call the police to tow the car, so he had to leave.
“Wow! So this car is yours?! What the hell are you doing? I’ve been yelling at you for a long time, you’re hard of hearing…”
Ansel stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed back to the villa in just twenty minutes.
Faithe was cooking soup in the kitchen. She heard a clanging sound and thought something had fallen. But the next second, she saw Ansel walking through the living room with a murderous look on his face and going upstairs without saying a word.
Faithe was startled. Why did he go crazy again?
