Only two days were left before the New Year. Lenora’s photography class was scheduled to start on the eve of New Year’s Eve, and the second class was to be held on the seventh day of the first month.
That evening at seven, Lenora was promptly seated in front of her computer screen. She launched the learning software and entered the live classroom.
The live stream room already had visuals, showing the assistant adjusting the equipment.
Lenora checked the class WhatsApp group, noticing that many students were actively participating in the group chat. They were simultaneously watching the live stream and engaging in conversation.
One of the students said. “It’s about to start. I’m a bit thrilled! Oh my, I’m really fortunate, I only saw the course information on the sixth day and when I registered, it was the last spot!”
Other students chimed in, “Wow, you’re really lucky. I’ve been waiting for a while now. As soon as the class information was released, I immediately signed up.”
Lenora was momentarily puzzled.
When she had signed up, it was already past the tenth, and according to what she had heard, it was supposed to have already been fully booked.
Perhaps someone had dropped the class, freeing up a spot.
“Hey, can you guys hear me?
At that moment, a crisp and magnetic male voice resonated throughout the live broadcast room.
Classmate: Absolutely!
Classmate flmighty Zeke!
A series of comments appeared on the public screen below.
“You can hear me, right? Great, the teaching assistant will check the roll call. Once everyone is here, we’ll officially start the class.”
A minute later, the teaching assistant posted a message on the public screen. “Everyone’s here.
“All right then, let’s begin our class. You should all have access to our course outline. In our first lesson. we’ll start with the different categories and styles of photography, and take some time to appreciate some
excellent works…”
Lenora listened very attentively, all the while diligently taking notes.
Zeke’s voice was warm and smooth, his thoughts clear and logical. The content of his class was captivating. drawing people in with its compelling nature.
Unbeknownst to them, the two–hour class flew by.
“All right, classmates, we’ll wrap up today’s lesson here The teaching assistant will be sharing the

homework in the group chat shortly. Please make sure to complete it on time.”
Lenora ended the live stream and, with notebook in hand, returned to her bedroom.
Harietta was lying in bed, engrossed in playing a game

Lenora pulled back the covers and climbed into bed, settling comfortably amidst the blankers as she flipped through her notebook. She revisited every piece of knowledge, recalling each point one by one
She picked up her phone and downloaded the homework package sent by the teaching assistant, giving it a quick glance.
The assignment packet contained ten images. The students were tasked to analyze the photographic techniques used in these images, based on the knowledge imparted by Zeke in today’s lecture. Furthermore, they were required to apply these techniques and submit five of their own photographs.
Just then, a WhatsApp notification sounded.
Lenora noticed it was a new friend request.
A jolt of surprise struck her when she noticed the applicant’s WhatsApp username was Zeke.
Lenora quickly checked the group leader’s account in the chat group, only to confirm that the person who’d added her was indeed Zeke.
Why did he add he?
Lenora was puzzled, but she still accepted the friend request and responded, “Hello, Mr. Easton.”
Like a well–behaved, obedient student.
The top of the screen flickered, indicating that the other party was typing. Zeke responded, “Nora, we haven’t seen each other for a few years, but surely we’re not that estranged?”
Lenora was taken aback, her face a mask of bewilderment.
What did he mean by that?
Did he know her?
Did she know him?
Lenora typed out a few words on her phone screen, paused for a moment, then hit send: I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean, do you know me?
Zeke sent a string of ellipses, seemingly at a loss for words: l’hen you first arrived in Fairlake, didn’t you not want to stay in the school dormitory? Wasn’t it me who helped you find that apartment? Have you forgotten!
Lenora looked at his response in surprise,
Is that so
However, she couldn’t recall any memories from her time abroad.

Lenora replied: I’m sorry, I had a car accident before I returned to my country, my memory of that time is a bit foggy
Zeke: Really? No wonder you not only didn’t reach out to me after you returned home, but you also deleted me.
Delete him?
Lenora slightly furrowed her brows
After waking up from the car accident, she clearly remembered that she had no memory, and she didn’t dare to casually delete friends.
Could it be that she had misremembered?
Lenora didn’t fuss about this. She responded with an emoji: Perhaps I deleted it because I didn’t recognize the name. My apologies, were we classmates when I was abroad?
Zeke said: No. I lived in Fairlake for a few years, I was the president of the Clusian Association then. We met in the
local Clusian community chat
Lenora: So that’s how it was, thank you for your help back thent.
Zekt: You’ve already thanked me back then.
Following that, Zeke sent over a voice message..
As Lenora clicked into it, a pleasant voice emanated from the speakers, particularly noticeable in the solitude of the study. “After you deleted me. I thought you despised me. I didn’t dare disturb your life when I returned to the country. To my surprise, you enrolled in my photography class. Perhaps, this is what they call destiny.”
Lenora asked curiously: It’s all thanks to your guidance in the competition group. By the way, was the course Salready full when I signed up? Did you make the decision to add me?
Zeke responded with a voice message. “Yes, are you interested in learning photography? I can teach you”
Lenora asked, puzzled: Aren’t I currently attending your class?
Zeke: Actually, based on my teaching experience, the efficiency of online classes is far from matching that of in–person classes. You’re in Jacaster now, aren’t you?
Lenora: Yes.
Zeke: I happen to be in Jacaster as well. If you’re up for it, we could arrange a time to do some cultural excursion. I can guide you step by step when we’re there.
Upon hearing this news, Lenora was quite intrigued.
Lenora: Really? That’s fantastic! How could I possibly refuse But, may I bring a friend along?
To be honest, Zeke was nothing more than a stranger to her now,
She couldn’t help but be wary of him, so she thought of involving Fiona.
Zeke responded swiftly: Of course.

The young girl was perceptive; noticing Lenora constantly engrossed in her phone chats, she grew more
cautious.
Startled, Lenora instinctively turned off the screen. When she glanced up, she saw Harietta with a mischievous grin, her round eyes gleaming with cunning,
“It depends. If you’re still here by then, I’ll bring you along.”
Lenora once again lit up her phone screen, exchanging a few casual pleasantries with Ezekiel.
“Yay, yay, yay!” Harietta laughed joyfully.
New Year’s Eve was the third day as agreed between Lenora and Connor. The time was set for the
afternoon.
Sophia had already returned to the Tortell residence, leaving only Lenora and Harietta in the spacious flat.
Early that day, Lenora and Harietta were busy hanging up couplets for the festival at their apartment. After having breakfast, they returned to the Fuller residence
Before even stepping into the living room, the sound of the Allison’s voice could be heard from within. “What’s the rush? Do you really think Nora would harm Hattic?”
Immediately, another woman’s voice responded, “Being with her will only lead Hattie astray! Hattie hasn’t called me in days, isn’t she the one instigating this? I’m going to bring Hattie back right now!”
It was Tamara.
