The year Archer met Natasha, he was a junior in college.

He went to the competition in Scrushire because his mentor was invited as a judge, and he was asked to go along to help.

Natasha was easy to notice. Among a group of indistinguishable students, she was

exceptionally beautiful but seemed not to fit in.

This formed a stark contrast with the girl who claimed to be her sister, who was popular with

everyone.

But he had known since childhood not to judge by appearances.

Indeed, during the competition, Archer heard several instances in the cafeteria or lounge where Olivia subtly and hesitantly provoked others.

A group of young men were easily manipulated by her.

Archer watched their drama coldly, finding it cliché and boring.

But he had no intention of comforting or helping Natasha, even though she was the only one who left a deep impression on him at first sight.

People described Archer as humble, kind, and graceful. Many girls had a crush on him, but found him unapproachable. Deep down, he inherited the coldness and arrogance of the Turner family.

He wasn’t really a compassionate person.

Even when most children were filled with youthful righteousness, he could walk past the bloodied and battered body of a bullied person without so much as a glance.

Minerva couldn’t love him wholeheartedly because he was the child of her enemy, yet her upbringing prevented her from hating him hysterically.

He was born because their destinies were intertwined.

Minerva was kind enough to allow this innocent life to be brought into the world.

Avery was kind to him, but he always prioritized Minerva before Archer.

Archer later discovered that Avery had mistakenly believed he was Byron’s child, which made Avery always harbor a sense of atonement towards him.

They were close but not intimate.

Growing up in this seemingly perfect family, Archer had learned the desolation within.

Minerva loved neither him nor Avery.

Perhaps, from the moment her family was destroyed in her youth, she lost the capacity to

love.

Avery’s overwhelming love for her occasionally showed an unusual madness.

The three members of Archer’s family each carried their own trauma.

From a young age, Archer found humanity dirty and disgusting.

On the surface, he would smile, shake hands, and pat shoulders with people. In reality, he would privately scrub the skin he touched with them countless times.

He preferred dealing with strange–looking insects over interacting with humans who had ugly minds.

Natasha was like the most beautiful butterfly he had ever seen.

Unfortunately, he assumed that she would be fragile and short–lived.

On the second day of the competition, he unexpectedly found her locked in the restroom.

While he was contemplating whether to help her, she calmly pulled a knife and lock–picking tools from her backpack, picked the stall’s lock, and climbed out through the window.

Archer was surprised that as a sixteen–year–old girl, she actually carried a knife with her.

He suddenly laughed.

In the corridor, he looked straight into her gloomy yet bright eyes.

Seeing him at the door, Natasha showed no emotion toward his cold indifference.

She simply walked past him indifferently, straightening her elegant neck as she headed to the

arena.

Interest prompted Archer to follow.

Then he saw her in the competition arena, utterly defeating those boys who were either jealous of her intelligence and talent or upset with her because of Olivia.

Because of the previous ordeal, Natasha’s clothes were crumpled. There was residual dust on

her face, making her look undignified. But in the arena, she was more dazzling than anyone

else.

Those boys lost without a doubt, looking utterly defeated.

Archer followed her out again and saw her taking down the mischievous boys one by one, pulling them into the boys‘ restroom, holding their heads, and dunking them in the sink.

Boys from other schools who had entered the restroom looked horrified and frequently glanced at her.

In the end, no one dared to come in.

Archer even helped keep watch for a while.

He didn’t know what Natasha’s school dealt with this dispute.

Perhaps Natasha was believed to win, and those boys were afraid of losing face, so the faculty leading the team quietly let the matter go.

Archer watched helplessly as Olivia grew increasingly anxious, yet she could do nothing.

On the last day of the competition, it was raining heavily.

After the competition ended, Archer found that the blue–tongued lizard he had brought was missing.

He anxiously went out to search. At the hotel entrance, he happened to see a couple picking up their child, who was Natasha’s cunning sister.

They seemed to still be waiting for someone.

Then Olivia hesitantly told them that Natasha had argued and even fought with a boy, and had already left in a huff.

The parents were very angry. Without asking for details, they criticized Natasha for causing

trouble.

Then, she comforted the frightened Olivia, telling her they had already booked a restaurant to celebrate,

He smiled after hearing that.

He remembered that Olivia had only won the lowest rank of the third prize, while Natasha had won first place with an overwhelming advantage.

Unsure of his feelings, he stood under the caves outside for a while.

As expected, Natasha walked out with a backpack shortly after.

As far as he knew, many schools had left after the competition on buses.
