“I’ve already recovered, so I came back to school,” Lalisa replied with a smile at Haruto. “Thank you for your concern.”

Haruto scratched his head with a smile and said, “You’re welcome.” Then he thought of something and continued, “I made notes on the recent classes for you. Would you like to have a look?”

In fact, these courses were not difficult at all for Lalisa now; she only needed to review them, especially math. She was very good at math, so she didn’t need the notes at all. However… Lalisa, looking at Haruto’s shy yet expectant eyes, could not muster the heart to refuse the kindness of the thirteen-year-old boy. She would feel guilty if she did!

She nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Student Haruto.”

A glimmer of light shone in Haruto’s black eyes and he looked a bit excited as he said, “Wait just a minute. Let me fetch it for you.”

The corner of Lalisa’s eyes twitched as she looked at Haruto’s cheerful figure. He would not become her little fan, would he?

But before Lalisa could fall into a reverie, she was surrounded by numerous female students, as well as male students. A gleam of surprise flickered across her eyes as she looked at the students surrounding around her and she asked, “Well… what can I do for you all?”

“Are you really twenty-three?” a boy asked incredulously.

Lalisa chuckled but complained in her heart. 008, why did you give me a junior high school diploma?! Thanks to you, I have to study in senior high school and be watched like a zoo animal!

If somebody became a senior high school or college student when he was thirteen, people would call him a child prodigy. However, if you were still a first-year student in senior high school at age twenty-three, others would think you were weird and foolish. Fortunately, she didn’t perform badly in class, or else others would definitely look down upon her.

“Yes,” Lalisa answered with a hollow laugh. “I don’t look that ‘old’, right?”

Everyone nodded. Lalisa raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, ‘Are these people asking me this because I don’t look like a twenty-three-year-old girl?’

“Yes. Though you are very pretty, you look like a teenager. I never expected that you’re already twenty-three years old!” one surprised girl exclaimed, and then she asked, “Is your skin in such good condition because of the good air in the mountains?”

Her skin was even tenderer and softer than babies, and she was so fair. The girl was so envious of Lalisa!

Good air in the mountains?

Lalisa recalled what she looked like when she became Min Lisa, sniggered and shook her head before replying, “No. Maybe my skin is good because my mom often gives me some skin-care products to use.”

By the time Haruto had come to Lalisa again with his notes, she was surrounded by people. Standing outside the crowd, he watched Lalisa answer each student’s questions with a smile. He looked down at the notes in his hand and continued to wait.

“Lisa, do you get such good grades because you’ve studied the lessons before?” a boy asked. “Is it because your math teacher back in that rural school is better than ours?”

Lalisa’s face changed, wondering whether the boy was really naive or was deliberately touching Min Lisa’s sore spot. She smiled and answered, “That’s because my mom gave me extra tutoring. My mom is amazing!”

“Wow, Lisa, your mom is awesome!” some of the female students exclaimed. “She cooks you beauty soup, and tutors you too!”

Lalisa smiled and boasted of her mom. “Yes, my mom is super awesome. You can tell that from my brothers.”
