The girl quickly ran off within moments.
Her departure spurred a flurry of comments from the people around them—
"There are all sorts of people in the world. Who does she think she is? How dare she ask Leon to accompany her on the piano?"
"Exactly. Why would Leon accompany someone else on the piano? What a joke."
"You're wrong. Leon would accompany someone else on the piano, but that person could only be Lte."
"That's right. Does she think she's Lte?"
Lte Batton instantly frowned upon hearing their comments. "All right. Quiet down, everyone."
Abruptly, everyone quietened.
She then peeked at Leon Batton. "Leon, how could you turn that girl down in front of so many people?"
Her brother frowned slightly. "I don't like her, so why can't I turn her down?"
From his perspective, it was necessary to be cold and be dismissive if he didn't like that person.
He wouldn't want to give them the wrong idea.
"Fine. I will never get through your thick skull," Lte sighed.
"Then stop trying," he replied. "Let's go. We have to head back to class."
She nodded and held onto his sleeve before leading him back to their class into their respective seats.
Leon noticed a slice of toast with a heart on it on his desk when he sat down.
He had received many gifts each day in school, but this slice of toast left the most profound impression on him.
He had been receiving the same toast from the first day of high school. Whoever it was from, that person never failed to leave this for him every day.
Sometimes, he was genuinely curious how that person had such patience as most people would have stopped offering gifts after a while.
This person was the only one who had persisted for so long.
After staring at the toast thoughtfully for a while, he kept it together with other gifts under his desk.
Soon, the English teacher entered the classroom and began the lesson, forcing him to stop thinking about the gifts.

When school ended in the evening, Lte and Leon went home to practice The Brightest Star in the piano room.
He played the piano while she sang with a microphone in hand-
"I pray for a pure soul and tearful eyes.
"Give me the courage to believe again.
"Let me embrace you through the lies.
"Whenever I can't find the meaning of existing, and whenever I get lost in the night.
"The brightest star in the night sky. Please guide me closer to you."
His agile fingers danced on the black and white keys of the piano
gry. He seemed so elegant
and regal with music coursing through the room.
He had dashing good looks and yet somehow still appeared unapproachable.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Leon played the piano as well as an experienced maestro.
Lte's singing complemented his
melody flawlessly with her pleasant voice. She sounded ethereal and immaculate.
Her voice was perfect for this song.
A beautiful voice paired with tasteful piano accompaniment made the song doubly good.
Xyla Quest managed to catch a part of the beautiful song as she arrived in front of the piano room.
It made all the exhaustion that she'd built up throughout the day disappear.
She hesitated by the door as she
was reluctant to disrupt them bet
