"Not good."
Anastasia answered straightforwardly,
Then, he pushed the mint candy back.
Edward propped his head and asked, "Why?"
"Because it's not the first time we've met." Anastasia gently knocked on the table,
"And this box of mints has expired."
Seeing Edward's frozen expression, Anastasia wanted to laugh.
She took the box of mints from Edward's hand, poured out one and stuffed it into her mouth. "I lied to you. You really believed it."
Edward breathed a sigh of relief,
"If I really gave you something that expired today, my brothers and sisters would laugh me to death."
"Families with brothers and sisters are so happy,"
The strength of the mint sobered her up a lot,
"I'm an only child, and I've been learning all kinds of skills since I was a child, so I don't have many friends."
"That must be hard."
Vampires' IQ was not just a little higher than that of humans, and they all had a photographic memory,
So learning anything was a simple thing for them, but for humans, learning should be a more painful thing.
"You can say that," Anastasia said, leaning over the desk,
"However, as long as you learn one thing, it will be easier to learn another. Many things are the same.
Like language and musical instruments,
As long as you know one thing,
The rest of the snow will be easier to move. "
"Maybe you can apply this to learning math and physics," Edward said.
"Then your grades will improve significantly."
Anastasia suddenly sat up straight,
Like a child in class,
She stared at the blackboard without blinking.
She did not even spare a glance for Edward.
"If we don't talk about this, can we still be friends?"
Edward also sat up straight, imitating her posture. After a moment of silence, Anastasia heard his childish comparison. "I sit higher than you."
Anastasia snorted carelessly. "Are you still a child? Compare this to me. "
Edward gave up pretending to be serious. He leaned against the back of the chair casually, looking relaxed and cool. Anastasia, who was listening attentively, suddenly sat up straighter. She lowered her voice and said proudly like a child, "See, Edward, I'm taller than you now."
Edward laughed out loud. Where did such a cute girl fall from? Her looks were top-notch, and her talents were enough to make people click their tongues. However, her temperament was so soft that he liked her very much.
The first class passed quickly, and the morning classes were over. Anastasia found an empty classroom and sat down to do her homework. It was not lunchtime yet, but she could not write a single word as she stared blankly at the pile of letters and symbols on the table. She did not know what to write.
It was all Edward's fault for interrupting her study.
Edward, who had somehow become the scapegoat, was chatting with his adoptive father in the infirmary. Carlisle's skin was even paler than Edward's. Compared to Edward's cold and aloof demeanor, he was more approachable and friendly. What's more, he was an excellent doctor. If not for the fact that he was already married, there would probably be many girls pretending to be injured and lying in the infirmary just to seek his treatment.
He really did not look like a thirty-three-year-old uncle. He was more like a twenty-three-year-old young man. Unfortunately, in the eyes of outsiders, the handsome and elegant Dr. Carlisle Cullen had adopted five children.
His youngest son, Edward Cullen, was volunteering in the infirmary, helping his father with voluntary labor.
"Carlisle, can I go now?" Edward tidied up the medical report helplessly. His mind had already flown far away.
Carlisle did not even raise his head. "No, you still haven't told me what's going on."
"I don't know. I can't hear her thoughts." Edward gave up for the first time. "I feel like I know nothing about her."
"You should pay more attention. Esme and the rest of us are very supportive of your desire to find a girlfriend. But before you do anything, you need to understand the situation first, right?"
Edward did not speak. He knew what Carlisle was thinking.
Vampires had amazing hearing, but this was the first time they met someone who did not have a heartbeat.
Yes, Anastasia did not have a heartbeat. Edward knew this from the first time he met her, but there were too many people and he thought he had misheard. But the last time she asked him for directions, he clearly felt that this lively and cheerful girl did not have a heartbeat. There was no sign of a heartbeat at all.
According to biological science, a person without a heartbeat could not survive in this world. Vampires' hearts did not beat because the corrosion of poison had long ago made their hearts harder than stone. They did not have a heartbeat. But why did Anastasia not have a heartbeat?
"So you should let me go now," Edward analyzed rationally. "I can go over now and tutor her in physics. I can also invite her to lunch. Maybe I can find out something."
Carlisle put down his things and looked into Edward's eyes. He asked seriously, "Are you sure you are not doing this for your own selfish reasons?"
Edward got up to leave. "Don't put your dirty thoughts into my head. I'm just a male fan, and I'm curious about her true identity. That's all."
"Then go. I hope to hear good results from you soon."
Edward did not speak. He jumped out of the window, avoiding the faint sunlight and walked straight into Anastasia's classroom. "Do you know how to write?"
Anastasia looked up helplessly. "What do you think?"
"It's getting late. Why don't we go for lunch first?" Edward suggested. "It seems like a good idea to do homework after lunch."
Anastasia rejected his invitation. "I've never been one to put things off until the next day. So I won't do anything else unless I finish what I want to do now."
This was an obsessive-compulsive disorder that she had developed over the years. She would solve everything in a set time, and not leave it until the end. Edward had discovered this when he was in Palouse.
"Well, do you want me to teach you?" He sat down in the opposite direction of her seat so that they were facing each other.
"Actually, you can have lunch first. You don't have to wait for me." Anastasia waved the pen in her hand. "Your brothers and sisters should be waiting for you."
"They won't wait for me. They're in pairs. I'm the only single one." Edward took a pen from her pencil case and began to work on a physics problem.
Anastasia laughed. "So you still feel inferior because you're single?"
Edward did not look up. "So, do you want to take pity on me because I'm single? Give me a girlfriend and help me get out of being single."
There were quite a lot of girls in the school. Anastasia thought about it carefully. "You haven't told me what type you like so I can help you find one."
After he finished working on the problem, Edward wrote down all the solutions and detailed analysis on a piece of paper. He pushed the paper to Anastasia. "Actually, I told you long ago what type of girl I like, but it seems like you don't care much about what I said, so you don't remember anything."
Anastasia was amazed by Edward's high IQ, but at the same time, she was puzzled by Edward's grievance. "Maybe I'm old and have a bad memory. Edward, please tell me your partner again, and I'll try my best to find one for you."
So, she really didn't remember. Edward felt a pang of sadness. He showed his good virtue of not giving up until he said something shocking. "I told you this morning that because of your appearance, my sense of beauty has improved. So, Miss Beate, I like your type. Can you help me find one?"
Anastasia, who was used to sweet words, took a few minutes to react. She leaned on the table with a serious face. "Do you like me?"
Edward repeated what he said this morning. "No one would dislike Miss Beate. I am no different."
"So, you like a fan?"
Edward raised his eyebrows. "What kind of like does Miss Beate want me to like?"
Anastasia lowered her head to study physics, leaving only the top of her head for Edward to see. "You can call me Ann."
"Okay, Ann."
Edward's voice was always very intoxicating, especially when he wanted to flirt with you. That feeling was even more deadly. His voice went into your ears, but it was like countless lightning bolts coursing through your entire body.
"Can you not flirt with me? Edward. "
Anastasia gave him advice as she struggled with the physics problem.
He propped his head up and watched her do her homework. "Why?"
She quickly calculated the data. "I signed an agreement with the management company. I can't be in a relationship. Do you want me to lose money by flirting with me like this?"
"So, you admit it."
She had miscalculated the answer and was not in the mood to talk to Edward. "What did you admit?"
His eyes were smiling. "Admit that I flirted with you."
Anastasia finished the question in her hand and began to think about the next one. She said, "If you just think it's fun, you can stop here. I really can't be in a relationship, even if I admire you a little."
"Are you sure it's admiration and not love?" he asked shamelessly.
Anastasia crossed out the wrong answer and began the next round of calculations. She was annoyed that she couldn't write the question. She automatically classified all of Edward's actions as harassment.
She solved the problem quickly and answered casually, "If you were Newton or Einstein, I could consider you."
Edward was curious. "Why?"
"Because they can help me with the physics questions."
Edward wanted to laugh at her answer. "Ann, I can help you with your homework too. Also, I'm better than them in some areas. They can't do it in their entire lives."
Was it necessary to be so narcissistic? Anastasia looked up. "Please tell me your story."
Edward chuckled. He pointed at the photo in the physics book and said, "Ann, they're all Mediterranean, but I don't."
Vampires would never lose their hair unless they were burned.
Anastasia couldn't help but laugh. "Edward Cullen, you're really suitable for a relationship."
"So, are you going to consider me?"
Anastasia pretended to be thoughtful. "Are you sure you won't lose your hair in your entire life? You have to know that getting fat and losing hair in middle age is part of a man's nature. It can't be changed even if you want to. "
