However, there was no answer. She turned her head in surprise to find Reynard looking around the room with a whitened face.

“Ray?”

“Everything is still the same.”

Raynard was now looking around the room with a face that seemed soaked in emotion. Now his eyes were red.

He laughed, holding his eyes tightly with his hand.

“I thought everything would change.”

Yurina scanned the room with her eyes, following Reynard’s gaze.

“Yes, like this.”

As he said, everything here was exactly the same as seven years ago.

All thanks to the fact that Yurina instructed the servants to leave everything as it is. The servants only cleaned the office regularly after Raynard left and did not touch anything.

The table where he sat every night to do his tedious homework, the sofa where the two sat face to face to eat or play games when he got bored of studying, and the piano he played whenever Yurina was bored.

Even Reynard’s book, his tattered notebook and writing materials were still on the table. It seemed that time itself stopped at the mark of seven years ago.

The only thing that has changed is two people who have grown so much. Yurina felt her heart pounding hard.

“All this is very strange.”

She didn’t answer, but Yurina fully sympathized with his words. It was really strange. And until yesterday, she found it hard to believe that she would run into Reynard like this, out of nowhere.

At the same time, she felt her heart gradually heat up like a boiling cauldron. It frustrated her to think that the two of them were now sitting face to face in the place where Yurina had sat alone for six years.

Up to this day, even the very air in the office seemed cold, no matter how many lamps you turned on, but now the whole room seems to have warmed up from Reynard alone.

Is this my textbook?

Noticing the books and exercise pages on the table, Reynard walked over to the table. He took the notebook from the table and carefully flipped through the pages.

Every time he turned over a new page, a peculiar smell of old paper wafted from there. He carefully looked at the text, not even noticing the unpleasant smell.

On every page he unfolded were written in rounded letters, which differed sharply from the small type written in his recent letter. Raynard laughed.

“I couldn’t write it.”

Yurina laughed at the page he opened.

“You don’t have a single right word here.

“Don’t look.”

Raynard raised his hand. Due to the difference in height, Yurina could no longer see his notebook.

“And still I know everything.”

Somehow, Reynard completely forgot the fact that it was Yurina who corrected his works every night.

“Did you put it in here?”

Reynard opened a page of text to Yurina. There were illegible scribbles, and the word ‘fool’ written in neat, rounded letters next to it.

“Yes, I wrote it.”

“When did you do it? I haven’t seen it before.”

“The day the people from the academy came. I was here alone while you and Dave listened to the instructions for entering the academy.”

“But what is a ‘fool’?”

“I have explained it to you many times, but if you continue to be wrong, you are the fool.”

“You are the only one who calls me a fool. At the academy, professors carried me in their arms.”

Raynard grumbled, but didn’t look particularly upset. Rather, Yurina quickly turned the page so as not to draw too much attention.

“It’s the only thing I wrote there.”

“But why did you have to do it?”

“It’s just…”

At that moment, Yurina was speechless and only clapped her eyelids.

‘Why did I even do this?’

When she remembered that time, the first thing that came to her mind was the atmosphere of the quiet study room.

“It doesn’t ‘graduate’ here, it writes ‘sleepy’, Ray.”

Looking at this scribble, Yurina became irritated, unable to explain herself to Reynard. However, she didn’t want to get hung up on this topic. Yurina deliberately responded more harshly than usual.

“You was bad with the writing.”

“ I’m sorry, what?”

Even under criticism, Reynard just laughed out loud and picked up another notebook.

Yurina remembered why she brought him to this office at all, and grabbed his arm.
