Cordelia had a hard time holding in her laugh, so she got up to walk in the front yard. She looked back occasionally,
seeing Zephyr sit in the living room speechlessly and throwing her a “hostile” look as if to say, “Just you wait
tonight!”.
She blushed, and her heart rate picked up, so she quickly avoided his gaze.
In the room…
Zennie finished the bowl of congee and looked up at Seth like a child waiting for a reward from an adult.
The moment their eyes met, Seth’s heart melted. This was what it felt like to like someone.
He once liked Linda as well, but it felt totally different from now. When he found out that Linda had Nicholas in her
heart, he chose to back out and wish her the best sincerely.
Despite that, if Zennie were to tell him that she had someone else in her heart, he would give his all to compete
with the man—like a knight who battled for love in the Middle Ages.
As someone who held a scalpel, he could pick up the sword and become incredibly brave too.
“Seth…” Zennie called him softly and waved a hand in front of him. “What’s the matter? What are you thinking
about?”
Seth snapped back to himself and placed the bowl aside. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at her pure and
innocent look.
What should his next step be? A voice shouted in his heart, “Confess!”
Seth suddenly sat up straighter and cleared his throat. He looked stern as he pulled his shirt stiff without a wrinkle.
Zennie widened her eyes. Was… Was he going to give her another lesson? Maybe more practice problems?

“Cough, Zennie, I… I have something to tell you.”
“No, don’t!” Zennie cried in despair, nearly tearing up. “I beg you, have mercy on me! I know that exams are
coming up, and I know I must get good grades after taking a year’s break from school! But I’ve done three years of
mock exams and five years of actual exam papers eight times! I can even memorize the punctuation marks now!
Can you—”
“Oh?” Seth perked up. “You’re so familiar with them now? So, you’ll be able to figure and work out the solution of all
problem variations?”
Zennie nodded, aggrieved.
“I understand now!” Seth smacked the table and looked apologetic. “Zennie, I’m sorry. I kept making you solve the
problems, but I’ve overlooked your feelings and that you’ve done it so many times.
“We won’t be doing the mock exam and past exam papers from now on!
“I can’t flood you with questions…”
Zennie stared at him and breathed in slight relief, but before long, her heart lurched again with what Seth said.
“I need to make you keep improving!”
“Ugh…”
“I’ve decided!” Seth was passionate. “We’ll start doing quizzes tomorrow! The classic kind!”
“Seth, enough!” Argh…” Zennie fell to the bed and buried her face into her pillow. She really did not want to see
him!
“Huh, well…”
Seth was baffled. What was going on? Was he not confessing? How did he make her cry?
Goodness! He could barely correct himself out of his habit of acting as one’s teacher.
He scratched his head and thought that he had gone over the line as well.
“Zennie.” He called her softly. “Zennie?”
Zennie turned away, not wanting to answer him.
“Um…” Seth got up and stood in front of the whiteboard.
Yes, there was a whiteboard in Zennie’s room. Seth usually used it for his lesson. And he was conducting another
lesson now. It was just that…
He picked up the pen and swiftly wrote down a few function problems.
“Hey, little girl.” Seth smiled. “Get up and solve this one.”
“You!”
Zennie sprang up from the bed, hair disheveled and eyes glaring.
“I have a reward if you solve this one!
“We won’t be doing any more papers, okay?”
“Hmm?” Zennie blinked at him skeptically.
She found it hard to believe, but Seth was a man of his word. It was just a problem anyway. There was no loss in
solving it!
She pouted and glanced at the whiteboard. The questions were not difficult, but she had to draw a graph.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeth passed her the pen.
Additional Mathematics was no challenge to Zennie. She solved it together with the graph a while later. She could
no longer hide her delight and triumph when she finished writing the last step down.
However… when she took a step back after answering, she realized that the curve on the graph was actually a
heart—a heart that was on the graph.

She gaped for some time, frozen on the spot.
“Seth, you…”
“This is the problem I’d like to teach.” Seth smiled and took a deep breath. “Question time next.”
He looked at her. “Zennie, do you understand the meaning of this function?”
Zennie looked at him in a stupor before her eyes stung.
“Zennie, do you… like me?”
The girl could not speak a word. Her mind went blank for a moment before she nodded fervently.
“Very well.” Seth calmed his thumping heart down, his palms sweating nervously. He looked at her, composed, and
said softly, “I like you too.”
Zennie was silent.
“You like me, it’s a sufficient condition. I like you too, it’s a necessary condition. Now that they’re both present, it’s a
sufficient and necessary condition.
Seth held her hand, and the tenderness in his gaze went straight to her heart. “Zennie, the problem with a sufficient
and necessary condition is… is perfect.
“Uh… l-let us continue this problem, okay? What do you think about doing it for life?”
