"Paige, help me organize my locker." At the entrance of the teaching building, Mike looked at the extra "gifts" in his private locker and said, "Same old rules: dispose of the letters for me. You can keep the gifts and snacks if you like them, or throw them away if you don't."
His extremely high looks and charm made Mike increasingly popular among girls at Columbia. Every morning, a large pile of love letters and gifts sent by girls would appear in his personal locker.
"Are you sure you don't want to look at the letters? Maybe there's a girl you like in there." Paige teased the man while skillfully packing the "gifts" into her small schoolbag.
The little girl had figured it out now; for an excellent boy like Mike, having a few female confidantes when young was nothing. Anyway, the person who would stay by his side in the end would definitely be only herself.
This was the confidence of a super genius in her IQ and looks.
Here, it must be mentioned that the little girl developed quickly. When this summer arrived, Paige seemed to have entered a period of rapid development. With the increase in height, her female characteristics had begun to take shape.
Her exquisite features combined with the "cool" temperament of a straight-A student made her charm vaguely surpass girls like Regina.
"Nothing worth seeing; I can guess the content." Mike answered with a lack of interest.
At first, out of politeness, Mike would open the letters and take a look. But as some girls' nude photos and more perverted "private" information gradually appeared in the letters...
This was obviously not a matter of confession anymore, but sexual harassment.
It belonged to the category of a toad biting a person—not harmful but disgusting.
And Mike, who had slowly gotten used to university life, was now focusing on the supernatural events in the Big Apple.
According to reliable news, species suspected to be vampires were likely to appear in several underground bars in the remote area of Manhattan.
Under these circumstances, Mike, whose constitution had far exceeded ten times the strength of ordinary people, was also preparing to find an opportunity to visit.
Therefore, he had even less mood to pay attention to the thoughts of those girls in school.
Another day of study ended. After dismissing Caroline who came to "encounter" him again, Mike took Paige towards the parking lot.
"Excuse me, can I take up a little of your time?" An unexpected figure appeared at the entrance of the parking lot and stopped Mike.
Signaling Paige that he was fine, Mike followed the person to the corner of the parking lot.
[Basketball Experience +66]... [Copywriting Experience +15]... [Administrative Experience +10]...
Yes, the person was Mark Friedman, that "young man" with very good basketball skills.
At this time, his expression looked a bit strange, as if suppressing anger or feeling annoyed.
"What's the matter, Mark? Shouldn't you be practicing in the basketball gym now?" Mike asked.
Like "Teen Wolf," this Mark seemed to have an obsession with basketball.
"I came to find you this time to tell you to stay away from Maggie." Mark warned with a complex expression.
"Maggie? You mean Maggie O'Donnell? I don't seem to have provoked her." Mike's eyes flickered.
Mike had some impression of that girl named Maggie; the other party seemed to like staring at him from afar.
And among the letters and small gifts Mike received, she sent the most.
"I know you didn't provoke her actively, but please pay attention..." Mark didn't seem to have organized his language well either, saying awkwardly: "Uh, that's about it. Goodbye~"
"Wait~" Being warned inexplicably, Mike stopped the other party unhappily and whispered: "Should I call you Mark Friedman, or Mike O'Donnell?"
After noticing Mark's abnormality before, Mike had specifically investigated his situation.
Mark Friedman, a sports recruit at Columbia, appeared very abruptly as the illegitimate son of the unmarried rich second generation Ned Friedman.
And the Mike O'Donnell that Mike just called out was a small employee of a financial company, nearing middle age with problems in both career and family.
He encountered layoffs at work, and because he liked to complain at home, his unbearable wife filed for divorce.
Under these circumstances, Mike O'Donnell, encountering a mid-life crisis, suddenly "disappeared."
It is worth mentioning that the missing Mike O'Donnell had a good rich second-generation friend, Ned Friedman.
And the time Mark Friedman appeared coincided perfectly with the time Mike O'Donnell "disappeared."
Originally, Mike just thought it was strange and didn't completely connect the "young man" in front of him with the "old man" in a mid-life crisis.
But the "young man" in front of him caring for Maggie O'Donnell like an old father gave Mike a flash of inspiration and a bold guess.
The middle-aged Mike O'Donnell, for some reason, returned to the age of seventeen physically. With nowhere to go, he found his rich second-generation friend. Then changed his name from Mike to Mark and took his friend's surname.
This explains why Mark's body is young, but his behavior pattern is like a middle-aged person.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" Mark, called by his real name, seemed to be immobilized, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
[Basketball Experience +99]... [Copywriting Experience +66]... [Administrative Experience +15]...
[Blessing: Return to Youth (Trait)]
As Mark became more and more nervous, a large string of light orbs burst out from him instantly.
Among them, there seemed to be something very interesting.
Mike, who got the [Blessing] light orb, became more convinced of his guess.
There seemed to be an incredible existence behind this Mark, worth continuing to pay attention to.
"Then maybe I remembered wrong!" Mike smiled.
Just as the "young man" opposite relaxed his nerves, Mike suddenly asked mischievously: "Did you come to me because you like Maggie?"
"NO, no, no~" Mark waved his hands hurriedly as if frightened: "I have nothing to do with Maggie."
Although he said so, his reaction was a bit like "no silver buried here."
If Mike guessed correctly, this Mark Friedman (Mike O'Donnell) was exactly Maggie O'Donnell's biological old father.
Warning people inexplicably, see if this scares you to death.
"I was just joking, don't get too excited." Mike, having satisfied his bad taste, smiled and patted the shoulder of the "young man" opposite, saying: "See you next time then, Mark~"
Mark, with complex emotions, watched Mike leave and had no mood to go to the basketball gym anymore.
He drove his rich second-generation friend's sports car and drove hurriedly towards the other party's luxury villa.
On the other side, Mike, driving the red Ferrari, was also on the way home carrying Paige.
"Mike, what did that person want with you just now?" Feeling the cool evening breeze, Paige brainstormed: "Did you steal his girlfriend?"
"What are you saying? Am I that kind of person?" Mike slowed down the car and pinched the little girl's cheek while waiting for the traffic light.
Say, the feel was not bad.
During this time, besides Paige, Mike had more contact with Lisa and Caroline in school.
Needless to say about Caroline, the eldest daughter; no one in school dared to spread gossip about her.
On the other side, Lisa, after Mike's reminder, didn't dare to spread her special relationship with Mike.
Therefore, Mike's reputation at Columbia was actually not bad. Who knew what illness that Mark had today to suddenly come to him.
"Hmph~" Before the traffic light, Paige slapped away Mike's mischievous big hand, also discussing the other party's conduct issues.
