Reincarnation of Love: Being the Guardian Angel of My Stuttering Husband

Episode 18's

Emily is not sad. He spent almost the entire night practicing the piano. He had been left behind in his tasks, so he was currently focused on catching up with him.

Starting a new life, the death of his brother might have been avoided, and he resurrected the idea of applying to music college.

In the past few days, Emily has been retracing her school lessons while beginning another piano lesson.

As the bell for class preparation rang, he closed the newly completed task and saw Kirana looking at him with an anxious face.

The girl frowned, her eyes filled with curiosity capable of making one's heart melt with her eyes.

Emily turned her head and saw Marvin and Raymond were looking at her with attention.

He smiled, while saying casually, "I'm fine, mind, really."

The three of them looked at Emily with curious gazes, with expressions that implied disbelief.

The air inside the classroom was piercingly cold, but Emily felt warm and full in her heart.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm so awkward," Emily knew that they cared about her, she felt a bit helpless but also grateful.

Raymond pursed his lips slightly, his dark eyes directed downward.

The class slowly became quiet as the teacher walked in with a pile of paper.

This time it was an English lesson, and the teacher did not ask everyone to read English, but instead chose to give the exam paper.

Mika is the homeroom teacher for the superior class and also an English teacher, so the students in this class feel a bit tense by her. They are usually very enthusiastic about learning English.

Mika tapped her fingers on her desk, and the students sitting in front of her were upright.

"This time our class performed quite well, especially Emily who scored 146 points, ranked first in English in our class and third in the class."

All the eyes in the class looked at him, staring at him with intensity. Emily's face remained calm, not ashamed.

She had lived abroad for a few years as a child and returned to this City for high school. However, her English skills were not affected, so she performed well in these subjects.

The reason its values have declined so much this time is simply due to lagging behind in physics and chemistry.

Mika cleared her throat and continued, "Previously, Nayara moved to the regular class, and the English class representative position has been vacant ever since. Emily, you've been in this class for half a month now, and your classmates should know you well enough. So, from now on, you'll be the class representative."

Emily felt a bit confused at the sight of Mika, but she could only be silent with a blank look.

The class went back into silence, but Mika's words caused a sensation.

"A question?" the teacher glanced at them with a stern look.

He was famous for his authority, and with just one cold sentence, the furore within the classroom instantly died down.

"If there are no questions, I will continue. During the day, our classes will do seating arrangements. This time, you will choose your own seat."

The previously silent class suddenly became crowded again. Choosing their own seat means they can sit next to a close friend, which is a great temptation.

The students whispered and exchanged eye cues with their close friends in secret.

Raymond involuntarily clasped his hand, his dark eyes glued to Emily's figure.

"Choose your own seat." thought Raymond.

"Nobody wants to sit with me, right?" continued.

A popular girl like her, many would compete to sit next to her, and she would definitely get a good spot.

Certainly not in a cold and distant corner like this.

"Does that mean I won't be able to sit behind him anymore?" thought Raymond.

"No longer can it be so close to him." he continued.

Raymond's heart involuntarily felt sad.

The class was filled with carefree excitement, but Raymond remained expressionless, his black eyes frozen, as if the news announced by the homeroom teacher had no effect on him.

His heart felt like it was pierced and created a small hole, and a cold wind slipped in, making his entire body shiver.

Raymond slightly lowered his head, took out a hot water bottle from the drawer, and grasped it tightly in his hand.

The water inside the warm water bottle had already lost its warmth to him, leaving a cold sensation to the touch. Yet Raymond kept hold of it, as if searching for something capable of comforting his heart through the freezing cold, wanting to find a trace of comfort.

With a solemn expression, the homeroom teacher looked at the restless state of the classroom and pounded the table vigorously.

"Shut up!" he shouted loudly, "I'm not done yet."

The class finally calmed down a little. Mika clenched her lips and continued, "Sitting recruits will be determined based on class ranking this time around. Students who are ranked first will choose a seat first, and so on."

Emily listens to the homeroom teacher and a thought comes to her mind

"Does this mean that if Raymond agrees, I can sit at the same table with him?"

His rank was eighth in the class, so he would get priority in choosing.

Raymond has always been successful in academics. He knew Raymond excelled in physics and chemistry, but his English skills were somewhat lagging behind, which prevented him from entering advanced classes.

Unless something unexpected happens, Raymond's grades should be in the top ten in the class and probably better than his.

If he agreed, they would definitely sit down together.

Joy approached Emily's heart and her calm expression slowly revealed in a smile.

Kirana glanced at him, lowered her gaze, pursed her lips, and finally pulled Emily's sleeve, asking gently, "Emi, do you still want to sit with me?"

The joy in Emily's heart instantly dissipated, and she closed her eyes in frustration.

"How can I forget Kirana, my faithful friend?"

That kind of look made it hard for Emily to resist.

However, the desire to be able to sit with Raymond was too strong. He nodded and whispered, "Sorry, Kirana. I want to sit with Raymond."

Kirana looked disappointed and lowered her head, gently answering, "Oh, alright."

He was never good at learning and felt a little insecure.

Over the past few days, Emily patiently explained the matter to him, explained what she didn't know, and helped him a lot.

"Well, can I still ask you for help with things I don't understand?" asked Kirana in a soft voice.

Emily nodded her head, "Of course."

As the lesson ended, the classmates gradually disbanded.

Emily stopped the passing Raymond and said, "Raymond, can you wait a minute? I have something to say."

Raymond lowered his gaze, looked at the delicate fingers of the girl, and nodded.

The classroom slowly emptied, and the corridor outside felt silent.

Emily felt a little uneasy as she tidied up her clothes, then lifted her gaze to look at Raymond's dark and serious eyes, then said, "Do you want to sit with me?"

Raymond was speechless, his dark eyes showing signs of confusion, and his voice trembled as he replied, "A-a-ap-what ya-ya-what are you saying?"

The girl's eyes were beautiful, clean and reflected her cold face and look.

Raymond's heart was pounding and he wondered if he had heard wrong.

In the midday sun, Emily, dressed in layers, had a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead.

He looked directly at Raymond, his eyes sparkling like the shining light of the sun. "I asked if you wanted to sit with me."

Raymond's fingers were trembling.

He felt the sunlight from outside illuminate his body, melting the cold sensation within.

It was like living in a dream where she not only did not leave the classroom, but also asked the question of whether she wanted to sit down with Emily.

The anxiety and disappointment he felt throughout the morning suddenly seemed to melt away with the girl's words.

If this is a dream, he doesn't want to wake up.

Raymond looked at the girl's clear and bright eyes, then nodded firmly.

*

Emily did not expect that during the reset of the seat, Kirana instead sat with Marvin. The four people were still sitting together in a corner of the classroom, with only a slightly shifted position.

Marvin actually wanted to sit down with Raymond, because he thought Raymond was a good guy and not across the cold of his appearance.

However, unexpectedly, Emily precedes him.

Most of the classes had quietly arranged their seats. Marvin and Kirana quickly agree to sit down together and consult Emily, eventually choosing a corner of the classroom.

Right now, during the break, the classroom was filled with crowds. The three of them gathered together, excited to talk.

"Emily," the girl sitting in front of Emily turned around and called out her name loudly.

This disturbance came at such a feisty moment, naturally causing a hint of annoyance.

Emily stopped and looked at the girl with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

She knew the girl's name was Jovita, and she always liked making small groups in class. They often gather after class, resulting in boisterous laughter.

Jovita saw him looking and smiling, taking out a physics book from his desk. With a pen, he pointed to a question in it and asked, "How did you solve this?"

Emily followed Jovita's pen tip and shook her head, "I don't know."

Jovita has asked a challenging question and Emily does not know the answer.

However, Jovita did not believe him and exclaimed loudly, "How could you not know? You solved the problem that the teacher asked you at that time."

Emily is disturbed by Jovita's loud voice, but suppresses her dissatisfaction. He calmly replied, "Raymond taught it to me at that time."

"Hhhh!" Jovita throws a derogatory look at Raymond.

Emily doesn't want to talk to people like her.

Jovita's obvious disgraceful tone angered Emily, she squeezed her jaw and coldly said to Jovita, "Although I know how to answer, I don't want to teach you."

"Yes, it's not Emi's duty to teach you. If he wanted to, he would; otherwise, he wouldn't. You act as if someone else owes you" Kirana said.

Jovita's face flushed with anger. She looked at Emily and Kirana fiercely, then turned around quickly, leaving behind the words "If you don't want to teach me, yes already. You look down on others."

Raymond sat quietly, but after hearing Jovita's words, he raised his gaze silently. With deep eyes like a bottomless pool, he stared coldly at Jovita.

Emily thinks that Raymond is upset by Jovita's words.

"Don't mind him. It was obvious he only had such an attitude," he said hurriedly.

Classrooms remained crowded, and no one noticed this exchange of seating.

Raymond turned his head slightly and looked at the beautiful and bright eyes of the girl who looked at him attentively.

He shook his head, but his heart trembled a little.

A cold wind fluttered the curtains in the classroom, and Raymond's heart became complex.

He would not feel annoyed at someone's ridiculing laughter; he had seen such things too often and was used to it.

However, he could not bear to insult Emily, even with just a few words. It sparked anger within him.
