The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System

Chapter 21: School Library Chapter 21: School Library The Library of A was built very high, with about fifty to sixty steps.

In the slightly cool night, there was no light around, only the brightly lit snack street outside the school in the distance, shining like a spilling galaxy.

Maureen, with her old backpack on her back and her back facing the Milky Way, sweat seeped out of her smooth forehead.

The sound of her running footsteps was quick, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of her backpack lightly patting against her back.

Liam’s heart started thumping rapidly.

Maureen ran to him, glanced at him and Niel strangely, “Didn’t you say you would wait for me?” They couldn’t even wait for ten minutes?

Liam’s mind went blank, his voice inexplicably hoarse, stuttering,” I thought you wouldn’t come back.” “I went to buy something, come here,” Maureen pulled him to the corner of the steps near the flower bed.

For some reason, Liam at the moment seemed to be disconnected from his usual unruly demeanor.

He lowered his eyes and followed her, obediently allowing her to tug him into the corner.

Maureen took out what she had bought from her backpack.

It was a bottle of iodine, a pack of cotton swabs, and a piece of disposable adhesive gauze.

“Your wound is a bit long, and a normal plaster is a bit small.

This pure cotton gauze will do the job.

It’s better than having it get inflamed.

I didn’t notice it.

You kept tucking your hand into your sleeves which only makes it easier for the wound to get infected.” Maureen handed them over, “You should handle this here before you go home.” Liam lowered his head looking at her, his throat moved but didn’t reach out to take them.

“What’s wrong with you?” Maureen waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Liam was at a loss to describe his feelings at the moment.

He couldn’t make any extra expressions on his face – just a vulnerable and tender confusion.

He initially thought that after she saw that message, she might not want to approach him again.

He also assumed, perhaps Drake was right, if she wasn’t after his money, then she must be playing a long game, maybe for something else.

But it doesn’t seem like that, at least, she’s not after either of those two things.

This is the first time someone sincerely likes him, treats him so wholeheartedly.

Liam’s ears were not even red, but rather, there was an extremely serious emotion welling up within him.

His heart was beating very fast.

“Liam?” Maureen called his full name.

Liam then seemed to come back to his senses as if jolted awake.

Yes, that’s right.

Test, heck, what was he testing?

Drake was just blindly envious.

Smith Maureen just likes him – Liam as a person!

Liam raised his eyebrows, studying Maureen seriously, first raising his eyebrows in a smile, then smirking, and in the end, he couldn’t contain his happiness.

Maureen: ???

Is he having an intermittent mental breakdown?

Liam had an expression of understanding on his face.

He licked his molars boastfully and arrogantly, “Oh, so did you rush to buy this for me?” He accented the words ‘for me’.

Maureen was really tired, and didn’t want to talk nonsense with him.

Seeing that she had bought iodine but did not apply it on his hand, his wounds wouldn’t heal.

She didn’t care for anything and unfastened the iodine, pulled a cotton swab and dragged his hand over.

“What on earth are you doing?” Liam jumped, retracting his hand, reddening the tip of his ears.

He pulled at his loose outer jacket, glancing around: “Stop fussing about here.” “Applying medicine,” Maureen stated, “If you don’t want it, disregard it.” “Don’t think you could have told me—” Liam began to grumble.

Maureen expressionlessly applied the cotton swab to his hand.

Liam nearly cried out at the pain: “Go lightly, go lightly!” Holding his hand, Maureen softened her touch, gently applying the cool medicinal alcohol.

Liam licked his lips, watching her tender movements, he couldn’t help but smile.

The wound on the back of Liam’s left hand was deep.

It looked like it was caused by a shard of glass.

But breaking a glass could only lead to cuts on the palm or fingers.

How could the back of his hand be cut?

When Maureen first transferred to the international class, she thought he was a pompous bully, she was even a little scared of him.

However, now, Maureen felt that he wasn’t as bad as he first appeared, so she was not so fearful of him anymore.

Maureen didn’t ask how he got the wound.

After all, everyone has things they don’t want others to know.

Just as when someone asked why Maureen only came to the prosperous city from a backward small town in the north when she was fifteen, and why Oliver only acknowledged Bianca without acknowledging her, she also didn’t want to answer.

She simply continued to help him treat his wound without asking any questions.

The two of them were very close.

Liam leaned over.

When Maureen finished treating his wound and raised her head, she almost bumped into Liam’s face.

He had a very handsome and distinguished face, a beautiful Adam’s apple, filled with the hormones of a young man.

Maureen was flustered, she stepped back: “It’s late, I have to go back.” Liam: “Okay.” Niel squatted to one side as a third wheel, only following up when Liam and Maureen walked towards the dormitory building.

The two guys took Maureen downstairs and persuaded the auntie in charge to give them permission, then they hauled the boxes up.

Maureen then saw them downstairs.

Liam strolled with his hands in his pockets, his pride radiating off of him.

He was about to say nonsense about something along the lines of, “Little Mask, aren’t you happy that a handsome dude and a slightly less handsome guy have walked you back to the dorm tonight?” However, Maureen held her ears and ran upstairs before he could speak.

Liam: ” Niel couldn’t resist laughing out loud: “Ha ha ha.” But Liam didn’t mind since he was in a good mood.

He made a domineering call to Drake Brown.

“I’ll turn against you if you say that kind of thing again.” Jake Brown still couldn’t help but ask, “What does she want if she’s not after money or the Williams family fame?” Liam touched the gauze on the back of his hand, barely holding back a bashful smile, and finally made a definitive statement.

“She wants me.” Drake Brown “…” Niel: “…” Liam had made up his mind.

Now that he was certain she had feelings for him, he decided he would treat her doubly well.
