It was another June.

This year's summer seemed to have started especially early. It warmed up in May and when it got to June, it was hot as the peak of summer. Dawn helped Serena lug the bamboo mats, laboriously making her way up the stairs as she complained: "Serena, aren't you in a high-level residence area? Why would the elevator break?"

"What high level, it's just more expensive." Serena was also quiet tired. She was carrying more stuff then Dawn, her hands holding two bags full of whatnots and two pillows wedged between her arms.

May and Chloe were behind them, their burden lighter than Serena. One person was holding a tea set, the other clutching a vase......

This was the stuff that Serena had just brought from the supermarket ......

Originally, it had been just a dinner. But upon hearing that Serena received her wedding clothes today, May and the others wanted to see. So Serena unashamedly went to the stores, brought lots of items and made them do manual labor >o<

May weakly asked: "How much longer?"

"You've come before."

"But I'm already dizzy from climbing."

Serena raised a hand to wipe the sweat: "Almost there, just two more floors."

"Two more floors~~~" Chloe cried piteously.

They pushed on to climb another two floors. When Serena opened the door, May and the others rolled onto the sofa. Dawn stayed lying down, but her eyes moved around the room. She suddenly said: "Serena, when I find a man, you get your Master to help design my home."

"Me too. I like this style that you have here." May agreed. This wasn't the first time she and Dawn had come to Serena's place but each time they came they ritually complimented it.

Serena made tea as she replied: "I helped too, why don't you guys ask me?"

"Ha, the parts you designed is the rotten parts."

Serena felt dejected. It was always like this. Clearly it was her and Master working together on the plan but everybody that saw the place put all the credit on Master.

Ugh~~~Under Master's blinding brilliance, when would she ever have time to shine?

Chloe didn't manage to make it the last two times so today was the first time she had come to the place. As the rest of them talked, she had started touring the rooms.

This place was a high-end apartment in a residential development called Prism Tower. It was the present that Master's parents had gifted them with when Serena and Ash got engaged last autumn.

Serena had never felt that parents had a duty to buy a residence for their children, but since it was a present out of the kindness of the elders, she wouldn't refuse out of pride. But, if the elders had been still living in the home that the university had distributed to them in a distant era, the situation would be very different.

When Serena received the place, she had felt a bit of guilt. Master's parents didn't want a single penny of the money Master made. Serena had felt that, since Master had his own money, they didn't need his parents to buy for them. Even though they only paid the down payment, but the down payment was still a few ten thousand. For professors in the not-so-rich areas of history and archaeology, a few ten thousand for a down payment should have been the most of their savings.

And they didn't have to buy a new place. Ash's old place had been pretty good.

After Ash understood her thoughts, he felt a bit helpless and explained: "They're used to living on campus, because my grandfather used to live there and my father was my grandfather's student. They met in that room."
