Michelle nodded, "Yes, you can't even kiss her. Those are my cousin's standards for finding a boyfriend. Obviously, you don't meet them."
Suddenly, James felt a little guilty. "How do you know about that?"
"About what?" Michelle did not understand.
"About... that..."
Michelle's big, innocent eyes still showed no understanding.
Frustrated, James said perfunctorily, "Forget it."
Leon reminded James, "Let's go."
James gunned the engine and drove toward L University. Sitting in the back seat, Michelle leaned to her window and looked at the streets of Lexingport City.
She missed her home and her parents.
But her parents' research was not over, and she did not know when they would be back.
"Alas..." Michelle sighed.
Leon glanced at her without saying anything. With his hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, James carefully paid attention to Michelle's reactions through his peripheral vision.
Hearing her sigh, James said, "Mimi, I'm a good person. It's just that...I don't have self-control. I meet the first two requirements."
Michelle's thoughts were about drift in the wind when James' voice pulled them back. She turned her head to him.
"No, you don't
e. Who am I to complain?"
Michelle smiled and said nothing.
After thinking for a while, James bargained, "How about I help you for a few more months in exchange for a few more places Emma goes to? I won't get fat even if I eat too much, and you don't have to worry about me getting sick and tired of eating your tasty food. Just tell me where to go so that I can run into Emma accidentally on purpose."
It was true that James did not gain weight by eating, but Michelle was not so sure about him not getting eventually sick and tired of her food.
After thinking for a while, Michelle shook her head and said, "No. Elena Lake is all you've got. You will definitely see my cousin there tonight. Just make it count."
"Fine. But Elena Lake is so big. Where's she going to be exactly?" James asked. "Tell me where she'll be exactly so that I can find her easily."
"No," Michelle shook her head again. "You've found her in Lexingport City, which is way bigger than Elena Lake. You'll be fine. You'll find her. If you don't, then maybe you're not destined to see her tonight."
James patted the steering wheel and said, "Damn it."
He actually felt that Michelle's logic was bulletproof.
