A prince from a certain American comic book

One is bean sprouts.

One is an ice rose with a cold and aloof temperament that is always with her.

Ike isn't stupid.

If given a choice between the two, even a madman with an unusual way of thinking would choose the Ice Rose.

Chris narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly enjoying Ike's words.

quite a while.

Chris shook her head and said, "Carrie's family isn't much better off than Andrew's, so why should I laugh at her like everyone else? If that were the case, I wouldn't have given my little angel to her."

Carrie's full name is Carrie White.

Carrie's mother was named Margaret White, and she was a very devout Christian.

Carrie's mother, Margaret, and her husband were very devout Christians when they were young. Just how devout were they?

It has reached the point where there is no longer any desire for sex.

Yes.

Carrie was an unplanned pregnancy. Margaret was able to control her desire for sex, but her husband, Carrie's father, was not so willing. One day, after drinking a few drinks, Carrie's father forcibly had sex with Margaret.

the next day.

Carrie's father was arrested and imprisoned on charges of rape.

Carrie's mother, Margaret, also moved from her original residence to Baltimore, where she gave birth to a baby girl ten months later. This baby girl is Carrie...

Chris's story was wonderful.

But Ike's expression turned strange.

Without him.

Chris's story looks familiar.

But a pity.

In such a short time, it was difficult for Ike to pinpoint exactly which familiar story it was from the endless database.

8 PM.

Ike and Chris walked out of the movie theater behind them.

Ike said with some melancholy, "I feel like I've lost two of the most precious hours of my life."

Chris said, "I think the movie is alright."

Ike glanced at Chris and said, "It's alright? From the moment that bald guy appeared, the director practically had to mark the real killer on his head. And the weak dialogue, stiff expressions, and rough plot are one thing, but turning a puzzle game into a violent one is just insulting people's intelligence."

Ike angrily complained.

Who says there aren't bad movies made in China?

That last movie was absolutely terrible.

no doubt.

Chris could only shake her head helplessly as she listened to her boyfriend's rant, saying, "Alright, let's go. If we don't go soon, I'll be grounded again tomorrow, and you'll have to climb the emergency exit to find me."

"This counts as exercise."

"Aren't you glad you didn't let your dad tear down the outside escape route?"

"……Correct."

Although Ike nodded, he was inwardly cursing him.

He simply couldn't believe that Mr. Cipher didn't know the purpose of the outside escape tunnels. Once, Eckming brazenly climbed onto the escape tunnel right in front of him, and Mr. Cipher acted as if he hadn't seen him at all...

Just as the two reached the parking lot, a low sobbing sound seemed to rise from somewhere within the parking lot.

Ike pulled Chris back and whispered, "Stand still."

Done.

Ike frowned, walked past his car, and slowly headed toward the sound of crying.

"The Woman Crying in the Parking Lot"?

"The Wandering Soul in the Cinema"?

……

Various horror movies related to parking lots flashed through Ike's mind as he moved step by step toward the sound of crying.

soon.

Ike saw a woman leaning against a dilapidated pickup truck, hugging her knees and crying.

Carrie.

Chapter 107: Tomorrow's Ball

"Ike. Ice#[email protected]"

"Ok?"

"Are you OK?"

Seeing that Ike was standing there without making a move, Chris asked a few questions tentatively before walking over with a bit of curiosity.

Ike glanced at Carrie, who was looking up.

next second.

Ike turned around and walked towards Chris, saying, "Let's go back. If we stay any longer, we'll have to climb the escape tunnel to meet you tomorrow."

Chris frowned as she looked at Ike.

Even after Ike's car left the parking lot, Chris still felt something was off, as if something was simply not right.

Ike's reasoning for deliberately pulling Chris away was simple.

These days, teenagers can't stand seeing others see them crying or looking pitiful.

This was especially true for Carrie, who was relatively unknown.

So Ike chose to take Chris away. Although Ike didn't know why Carrie ran to the empty parking lot to vent her emotions, there was no doubt that Carrie chose the parking lot so that she could cry her heart out without restraint.

the next day.

Ike sat in the empty stands of the stadium, holding a letter in his hand and watching with a smile.

This is an invitation letter from Johns Hopkins University.

Just as Ike had expected.

He secured one of the ten full scholarships that Johns Hopkins awards annually only to the East Coast, meaning that from this moment on, Ike officially entered an advanced era where studying not only doesn't cost money but can actually earn him money...

Ike flicked the letter in his hand, then looked up with a smile.

Chris is having a very hard time right now.

To be precise.

The girls on the sports field are having a tough time. Their PE teacher, Ms. Dejadin, is punishing them by making them run because a group of girls mocked Carrie for not knowing what a relative was yesterday.

Ike smiled and waved to his girlfriend Chris, who was running towards the audience.

Chris simply made a gesture to Ike.

Ike laughed heartily.

Ms. Dejadin looked at Ike, who quickly covered his mouth and made an apologetic gesture to Ms. Dejadin.

"She has no right to do that."

"Alright, Portia, we're almost done running."

"Just because of Carrie White, I have to run around for seven days straight?"

"..."

Before Chris could think of anything to comfort her, her sparring partner, the black-haired Portia, got up and left the sparring group.

Wearing a tracksuit and holding a whistle, Ms. Dejadin glanced at him and said indifferently, "Keep running, Hagens, or you won't get to the ball."

The female student, whose full name was Portia Hagens, hurled a vulgar insult at Dejadin, starting with the letter F.

The smile on Ms. Dejadin's face vanished instantly.

Ike, who was waiting in the audience for Chris to finish class so he could go home, also had a strange expression. If he wasn't mistaken, there was going to be a good show to watch.

Dejadin's smile vanished as he walked toward Portia.

"Little girl, what did you just say to me?"

"This is blatant child abuse."

"I'm asking you what you just said to me."

“I’m not running anymore. It’s all Carrie White’s fault for being so stupid that she doesn’t even know what relatives are.”

Portia was furious. Why was he only mocked by one or two people?

Did that sentence cause them to run all afternoon?

Ms. Dejadin put her hands on her hips and said to Portia, "You're being kept on campus. Don't even think about going to the ball or attending my classes. Get out of here."

“No,” Portia said directly.

Dejadin was also slightly taken aback: "No?"

“You can’t make this decision,” Portia said to the girls present, showing no fear. “She has no right to punish us.”

Portia tried to defend herself, addressing the crowd: "Too much dehydration can be fatal, Tina, and your heart isn't very strong either. If we stick together, they won't put us all on probation. If they don't let us go to the prom, the prom won't even happen. Nick, Liz..."

Just then.

Ms. Dejadin looked directly at Ike in the audience and called out, "Ike Arendelle."

Ike, who was watching the show, was taken aback.
