You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 625 Cook Noodles

Leon paused for a moment before he said with a smile, "I missed you, Mimi. I just came to Lexingport City, so I am yet to become familiar with the place. I might bother you to show me around. After all, you're the only one that I know here and I am going to have to stay in this city for a few more years."

"That's not a problem at all, but I can only take you out on the weekends as I am nearing my finals and I need to prepare for my exams. I can't afford to fail my exams or my review. No, wait...it's a preview," Michelle said with a grin.

"Preview! Are you sure that it's a preview and not a review?" Leon asked in confusion.

Embarrassed, Michelle scratched her head and replied, "It's a preview."

Lydia tried hard to hold back her laughter and said, "Yes, it is a preview. She never brought her books to school. She only came with her phone and her power bank." "But I had to hone my skills in playing the game," Michelle retorted with a pout.

"Yeah, yeah! You're the professional, aren't you? There are only four of us in our dormitory. And after this semester, we can only meet each other when we're graduating. You're going to be a gamer, so you would not want to stay at the dorm. And the others are going for an internship, so they would also be moving out. I will be the only one left who stays at the dorm room," Lydia said with a heavy sigh.

"Oh, don't worry! My club is not far from the school, so I'll take the subway and come visit you whenever I am free. I just hope that you don't think I am disturbing your study time, okay?" Michelle said in a comforting voice as she held Lydia's arm.

Lydia cast a glance at her and replied, "Oh, are you sure? It will take you at least two hours to get to school if you take the subway, and you will have to change trains."

"That won't be a problem. I'll come see you whenever I'm free." Michelle did not care about how long it took or about the distance.

Lydia gave Michelle a big hug and said, "You are the most loving person I have ever met. When I pass my postgraduate exam, I will buy you a big basket full of strawberries and a big strawberry cake." "That would be awesome!" As she said that, Michelle's eyes lit up instantly.

Upon seeing her caring attitude, Leon seemed to have understood the reason his sister loved Michelle so much.

"There is a month left before your final exams, so prepare well and preview it. Don't fail. You can always ask your classmates for help, right?" Leon reminded her.

"Leon, don't worry. I have someone who always helps me understand the key points. Our class rep is amazing. He always marks all the key points for me." Even though Leon was concerned about her studies, Michelle seemed very relaxed.

"Yeah, he is one of the best students that I know of. He has already enrolled in graduate school before even graduating. I want to learn from him," Lydia said with a hint of pride and admiration in her voice. "You are just as good as him, Lydia. You rank the third in our grade, don't you? I am the one who is at the bottom. I always end up getting the most average scores," Michelle said, pouting. "Don't belittle yourself, Mimi. Everyone's pursuit is different. You may not have good grades like they do, but you're the best at gaming. Each person has their own talents," Leon said in a sincere tone. "Yeah, he is right," Lydia said as she patted Michelle on the head lovingly.

Michelle looked at her with her big eyes and said, "Ouch! I only said it in a casual way, so chill! Oh, look! Here we are."

As soon as they stopped, Michelle turned to look at Leon. "So, this is where we live. Leon, what about you? Are you going to take a cab back?"

Stunned, Leon wondered, 'Where do I live?'

Since Wynn was the one who booked a hotel, he decided to call him and ask him for help.

"I need to make a phone call first." Saying that, Leon turned around and dialed Wynn's number. "Wynn, I'm at L University. Can you come over and pick me up?"

"Just to remind you, Leon. It has only been two hours since we stepped foot in Lexingport City. How am I supposed to find a car in the middle of the night?" Wynn's voice was shaky as he was moving their luggage into their room along with Bryant.

Leon had brought fifteen large suitcases with him, while Bryant and Wynn together had brought only eight. So, there were twenty-three suitcases that he had to carry along with Bryant.

Even if the two of them had been hardworking muscular men, they would have felt tired, but they were just regular men.

Wynn tilted his head, supporting his phone between his cheek and his shoulder while he carried a heavy suitcase to their room. Since the suitcase was so big, it was also partially blocking his vision.

As he fumbled his way into the room and said, "Leon, please take a cab to the LC Hotel downtown. We have booked their VIP suite for the next six months. I have to move our things into the room and then unpack, so don't bother me."

"Hold on. If you want me to come on my own, then you need to at least give me..." Before Leon even finished his words, Wynn disconnected the call. Leon closed his eyes and hissed, "Give me some money." Leon looked around and saw a few trees and street lights. There were cabs on the street.

He wanted to hail a cab, but then he was afraid of being called a free rider.

"Leon, what's the matter?" Michelle asked, looking at him with a worried expression.

Leon took a deep breath and turned off the phone screen. He then turned around and said with a smile, "Mimi, could you let me stay for just one night?

I don't have any money with me." He shrugged his shoulders, looking at her helplessly.

Although he was the successor of C Island, he was asking another person to take him in for a night.

Michelle remembered that the first time she had met Nina, she did not even have any money to buy food.

Now her brother Leon was also in a similar state, which caused Michelle to pity him.

She smiled as she comforted him, "Don't worry, Leon. I'll give you the spare key to Nina's apartment. You can stay here. Now that she is not here, you can think of it as your own."

Leon knew that something was missing but he could not figure out what it was. "What? I'll stay here tonight and leave tomorrow."

'He doesn't have any money. Where is he going tomorrow?

Is he going to live under a bridge like a homeless person? Is he going to use newspapers as blankets?'

Thinking that, Michelle decided not to let him stay on the streets.

"You can stay in Nini's apartment," Michelle said firmly as she dragged Leon upstairs.

However, she was not strong enough to drag him. Leon was worried that she might fall down if he shook off her hand.

Her arms and legs were so skinny that she would get badly hurt from a fall.

'I'll just let her be,' he thought to himself.

Lydia felt like she was invisible to Michelle as she followed them upstairs. Once they were in the room, Michelle asked, "Are you hungry, Leon? Have you eaten anything at all?"

"I'm just a little bit hungry." Sitting on the sofa, Leon looked around and saw the room filled with plush toys. There was even a soft toy version of a bunny and a carrot.

"Leon, wait for a few minutes and I will make you a bowl of noodles, okay?" Saying that, Michelle opened the refrigerator and took out a large bowl of broth. "Would you like some noodles too, Lydia?"

"Have you forgotten that we both ate a lot of snacks at the food street?" Lydia teased.

"Oh, yes! Then I'll just make some for Leon." With that, Michelle walked into the kitchen.

Leon stood up and followed her. He crossed his arms as he leaned against the door and asked, "Mimi, do you stay here quite often? You even have a bowl of broth."

"No, I have seldom come here since Nini left." Michelle turned on the fire and poured the bone broth into the pot. "The broth and the noodles were made yesterday. It was Nini's birthday, so I cooked a bowl of noodles for her."

"Well, it is a pity that she was not here to eat the noodles. Good thing, I'm here and I can eat them!" Leon said cheerfully.

Michelle turned around and chuckled. "Leon, you're too late. I already ate her noodles and her birthday cake!"

She smacked her lips, thinking of the cake.

"What cake did you buy?" Leon asked. He seemed like he already knew the answer.

Michelle smiled and replied, "I bought a strawberry cake. There is a new dessert shop next to L Communication University. They gave a large discount and there were many strawberries on the cake." "Oh, really?" Leon asked, covering his mouth in awe. He seemed to have guessed right.

Michelle was greedy for strawberry cakes. If it weren't Nina's birthday, she might have found another reason to buy a strawberry cake.

A thought came to Leon and he asked, "Michelle, since you like strawberries so much, have you ever considered growing them yourself?"
