Steve handed both the homework notebook he wrote and the one Ruby wrote to Ruby, saying, “If the teacher asks you why you wrote in two notebooks, just say that one of them ran out of pages. Got it?”
Ruby hadn’t fully recovered from the surprise of her homework being completed so easily and nodded blankly at Steve’s words.
Steve frowned at her foolish expression, then took out some tape from his backpack and helped Ruby stick the two notebooks together before stuffing them back into her bag with peace of mind.
Ruby’s close call of forgetting to do her homework and almost getting punished by the teacher didn’t give her a wake-up call. Instead, her laziness intensified, making her even less inclined to do her homework after school.
As for Steve, every night after school he would finish the homework assigned by his teacher, then study middle school knowledge on his own. The next morning, he would get up early, pick up Ruby for school, and then, in the school’s small garden, he would mimic Ruby’s notes to complete the mind-numbing assignments.
At first, Ruby and Steve would write together.
Eventually, it became just Steve writing while Ruby sat nearby, either reading comic books or happily sipping a milk tea.
Occasionally, when Ruby had stayed up late the night before and hadn’t gotten enough sleep being woken up by Steve, she would pout and complain to him, who was busy writing her homework, “Why are you so slow at doing homework? Because of you, I have to wake up so early and I haven’t had enough sleep.”
It was also during that time that Steve’s mountain bike was no longer just his cool mountain bike, as a rear seat was added to the bike.
His mountain bike became the tool he used to take Ruby to and from school every day.
The impressive sight of several outstanding young boys riding their mountain bikes at school remained, except now one of those boys had a delicate, beautiful young girl on the back seat of his bike.
At that time, although Ruby already knew that The Gregorys had begun instilling in her the idea of marrying Steve in the future, she didn’t completely lose herself in front of him.
Back then, Ruby, taking advantage of her young age, would act just as spoiled as Madeleine in front of them.
That Ruby, who didn’t write a single piece of summer break homework, ended up having Steve, Edward Woods, Russell Henris, and Howard Coleman spending three whole days in The Burtons’ study tirelessly writing her assignments just three days before school started.
Ruby at that time… was so wonderful…
But for some reason, she changed later on.
