Noah saw the positive response to the speech and didn’t stop it. After Lysander finished, he added a Q&A-
session.
The students were exceptionally enthusiastic,
Lysander first pointed to a nearby girl who looked shy and quiet.
“Hello, Ms. Thome.” Seeing her encouraging gaze, the girl plucked up her courage to ask, “How do you manage to speak in front of so many people without feeling nervous?”
Lysander blinked and chuckled. “Well, I do get nervous sometimes. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have prepared my speech in advance.”
A nearby student exclaimed, “Ms. Thorne, even someone as capable as you need to prepare in advance?”
The girl continued, “Ms. Thorne, can you tell us how to become an excellent doctor? Or recommend some professional books?”
Lysander considered her question. “It’s a bit early for that now. We can talk about that after the college entrance exam when you’ve decided on your future path.”
The following questions from students became bolder.
Someone asked about the brand of Lysander’s coat, prompting her to casually take it off and display it. “I suggest buying during off–season sales. I got mine at a thirty percent discount, so it should be cheaper
now,
As teenage girls were interested in fashion, they noted her outfit, preparing to study it after the college.
entrance exam.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, a male student, encouraged by his peers, blushed and asked, “Ms. Thorne, you’re so beautiful and talented. Do you have a boyfriend now?”
Laughter erupted around him, accompanied by some teasing.
Clearly, compared to those mundane and dull questions, everyone preferred hearing the juicy gossip.
The male student’s homeroom teacher interjected angrily, “Stop asking your senior these inappropriate questions!”
“Just asking…
“What’s the point? Will she be interested in you?”
“That’s hard to say.”
“You wish…”
The homeroom teacher was so furious that he raised his hand to strike, yet his hand gently descended without making contact.
The student made exaggerated sounds, provoking laughter from everyone.

The young man was seated toward the front, a sight that didn’t escape Lysander. She couldn’t help but break into a slight smile.
“I got married.”
Her words were drowned out by murmurs of surprise from the audience.
“See, I told you. Beauties are rare resources that don’t circulate in society.”
“Ah, such a pity…”
Lysander paused for a moment, then continued into the receiver, finishing the sentence that had been drowned out earlier. “But I’m divorced now.”
This time, the commotion from the audience was even greater than before. Seeing that they couldn’t control the situation, the homeroom teachers from each grade simply let them make noise.
Lysander took charge of maintaining order. “Any other questions?”
The students were particularly obedient even though it was their first time seeing Lysander.
Immediately, someone stood up and asked, “Yes! Did you have a boyfriend back in high school, Ms. Thorne?”
“Actually, no.”
“Was it because you didn’t like anyone, or were the teachers strict?”
“Both, I guess
“Ms. Thorne, then your husband… sorry, ex–husband, was he your first love?”
Meanwhile, Josiah was walking with the dean under the pergola on the side of the playground when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head toward the noisy main stage,
After a brief scan, locked eyes on Lysander, who was patiently waiting for the students‘ astonishment to subside.
A few school leaders surrounding Josiah recognized Lysander.
With a proud expression, one of them introduced her, “Mr. Guerra, the person speaking on stage is one of our outstanding graduates named Lysander Thorne. Don’t be fooled by her young age as she’s very successful. She entered medical school with top scores. I could already see her future success when I was her teacher.”
Josiah’s brows twitched slightly, his’expression seemingly unchanged as he responded, “I see.”
The dead thought the introduction lacked weight and added, “Her academic performance has always been excellent. After the college entrance exam, she brought honor to our school by winning the top scholarship in the city. The scholarship fund you’ve set up this time is to help students like her from less privileged backgrounds. It’s contributing to the whole society!”
“I just don’t want to see talented students go unnoticed.”
Josiah turned slightly. facing the direction of the playground with a distant gaze.

The school leaders around him noticed his interest in the ceremony and quickly led him toward the field.
As the current major donor of Fifth High School, it was only natural for Josiah to sit in the front row beside Noah. This placed him directly in front of Daphine.
Daphne didn’t need to think twice to guess his intentions. Tempted to kick him under the circumstances, she refrained, only giving a cold snort. “Why are you here?”
The dean recognized her. “Daphne? Do you know Mr. Guerra?”
Daphne rolled her eyes. “No, I don’t.”
Josiah intervened, “The school has been wanting to establish a scholarship fund similar to a financial aid program, aimed at helping outstanding students from less privileged families. I was invited to attend the school anniversary celebration and also to assess the school’s situation.”
Daphne frowned. “Charity work?”
“Something like that?”
“Oh, then I won’t argue with you today. Just donate more money to our school.”
Josiah chuckled lightly, turning back to face the stage.
Lysander stood tall with a dignified posture, her tone gentle and demeanor warm. When the sunlight fell on her, it created a charming aura around her.
Then, Josiah heard Lysander say, “I wonder how you define first love. Is it mutual affection, or does. unrequited love count?”
“Ms. Thorne, you were both married, so wasn’t it mutual affection?”
“My situation with him was rather complicated, It’s hard to explain in just a few words.” Lysander diverted the topic. “Anyway, time is almost up. We have other activities planned. I’m glad to share our feelings with everyone today. I hope you all have a bright and happy future.”
Lysander gestured that her speech was over, handing the microphone back to the host.
“Great, thank you for today’s speech, Ms. Thorne. Let’s give her a warm round of applause…”
A male student, wearing a basketball vest underneath his open school jacket, stood up from the back row. “Wait, Ms. Thorne!”
