You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 627 Good Night

It was past midnight and the whole place was quiet. The light in the living room only illuminated half of Leon's face, and the other half was hidden in the dark.

He smiled at Michelle, as though he was reminded her that she could not trust men, including him.

However, his reminder only made Michelle trust him even more as she looked at him and said, "You're right. There's always bad things happening around us, and that is not going to change. But we must not live fearing what might happen. Instead, we need to focus on the present."

She then gave him a bright smile, revealing her pearly teeth.

"Have you always been this way, Mimi? Do you really believe everything that a person says to you?" he asked with a chuckle.

"Of course not! I don't trust people that easy. Even Nini knows that I am smart when it comes to dealing with strangers," Michelle said, lifting her head proudly.

Since Leon was so close to his sister, Nina, he considered her best friend, Michelle, as his sister too.

He found Michelle to be rather interesting.

He cared about her, so he hoped that she would be more careful in the future. With a gentle smile, he warned her with concern, "But you trust whatever I said. This is not right." "You are different, Leon. I consider you as family." Michelle smiled at him as though she was not agreeing with him.

She was cute, and when she smiled, she lit up the whole room.

Shocked by her reply, Leon smiled at her and added, "I can't win an argument with you."

"Of course, you can't! Because you know that I am right. All right, it is time for me to go to bed. You should get some sleep too, Leon," Michelle said with a smile.

"Sure, go ahead," Leon replied and watched as she went to the bedroom. Just when he was about to pick up the noodle bowl from the dining table, he saw her poking her head out.

With a sweet smile, Michelle said, "I believe you, Leon. Just the same way I believe Nini. Have a good night."

She then closed the door behind her before he could even reply.

Michelle changed into her pajamas and turned off the light. She got on the bed and under the warm blanket. However, she could not bring herself to sleep and stared blankly at the ceiling. In fact, she was still shocked.

Why did she meet Leon all of a sudden?

She had always thought that she would never see him again.

The last time that she had seen him was when he stopped her from falling when they were at Mist Water Park. If he had not been there that day, Michelle would have fallen down and dirtied her face in the mud.

She thought that it was so good to have him around. He had stopped her from falling that day, and now, he came to her as soon as he came to the city.

Thinking that, Michelle chuckled. Leon was so nice to her.

In fact, he was just as good as Nina was to her.

Michelle's parents were busy working on research projects while her cousin was busy with college and her relationship. Nina was unable to contact Michelle since she was on C Island. Michelle felt so lonely. But now that Leon was finally in town, she did not feel lonely anymore.

Michelle was laughing so loudly that she woke up Lydia, who had barely went to sleep

"Michelle, what are you laughing at?" Lydia asked as she turned over.

"Come on, it's time for us to sleep. If you don't wake up tomorrow, I am going to pour ice cold water on you."

After saying that, Lydia yawned. She was so tired that she could not open her eyes.

"All right, I'm going to sleep." Michelle quickly closed her eyes, but when she heard Lydia snoring, she could not help but giggle.

In fact, Michelle did not feel too lonely as she had roommates who were nice to her and classmates who liked her.

Lydia and their class rep were very kind to her.

Lydia always covered for her whenever she missed a class and the class rep helped her understand her lessons right before the final exams, so she would not fail her tests. With their help, Michelle had never failed in the past three years.

Although they both seemed to be annoyed and pissed about teaching her, they still helped her.

That was the reason Michelle was so determined to be good to them.

And now, she also had to take care of Leon. She wanted to earn money to support him.

Michelle fell asleep thinking about it. She was having a very pleasant dream when she felt someone pinching her cheek and woke up from the pain.

"Stop, Lydia..." Saying that, Michelle rubbed her cheek and continued to sleep.

Lydia stood next to her bed and sighed. She looked as though she had expected that to happen and was used to Michelle not waking up in the morning.

Although they had been roommates for three years, she still had an unrealistic fantasy that she could wake her up.

"Forget it. You go back to sleep." With that, Lydia picked up her phone and set an alarm to ring every five minutes.

"Today we have a lot of classes, and I will be glad if you're up just in time to attend the third and fourth classes." She then placed her cellphone on the bedside table and turned up its volume to the maximum level.

Michelle murmured in her sleep, "The third and the fourth..."

"The third and fourth classes are Mr. Zhao's classes, so don't you dare to skip them. I am leaving, now," Lydia reminded Michelle. "You are so lazy, but you still want to support Leon. I think it is you who needs to be supported, not him."

"Leon..." Saying his name, Michelle immediately woke up and sat up on her bed.

Lydia looked at her in shock as she thought that it looked as though a corpse had come back to life. "What's the matter with you?"

"Leon is still here." Michelle scratched her head, lifted the blanket off her body, got out of bed, opened the bathroom door, and went in to freshen up.

Upon hearing the buzzing sound of the toothbrush, Lydia finally understood what was happening. "Am I daydreaming?"

She still could not believe that Michelle was awake. She followed her into the bathroom and used the disposable toothbrush to brush her teeth while looking at Michelle who seemed to be wide awake.

If they had been in their dorm room, Michelle would be brushing her teeth with her eyes closed.

After brushing her teeth, Lydia asked hesitantly, "Michelle, what's come over you? What made you wake up all of a sudden?"

Michelle replied absent-mindedly, "I need to make breakfast for Leon."

Still in shock, Lydia smiled at her as she asked, "I wonder if I'll be treated the same way as him."

"Of course! I am going to make breakfast for us too." With that, Michelle put her brush in the bin and went to the kitchen to take some eggs from the fridge.

Lydia happily followed her into the kitchen and exclaimed, "Well, I am glad that he's here!"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Pointing in the direction of Leon's room, she put a finger over Lydia's lips. "Don't wake him up, let him sleep a while longer." "Okay, fine." Lydia kept her voice down as she followed Michelle to the kitchen.

After the breakfast was ready, the two of them ate and Michelle woke Leon up just before she was heading out.

"Leon, I have made breakfast for you. It's on the dining table, please don't forget to eat." After saying that, Michelle walked to her class.
