Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 854

"I can attend classes normally starting tomorrow." Juniper moved away from the keyboard, opened her backpack, and took out an exquisite box of pastries. "The housekeeper made these. They're pretty good, you should try some."

"Oh, how nice of you!" Tucker pushed up his reading glasses, his face blooming into a smile. His earlier frustration vanished, replaced by sheer delight.

"Oh, and this..." Juniper took out a USB drive, resting her cheek on her hand. "I was bored, so I threw together a reference guide based on the last couple of years of computer science research. It might be a little rough in some places, but you can take a look."

"Alright." Tucker started flipping through the material, and the more he read, the more he felt something was off. Who said it was rough? This was brilliant! It wasn't just a reference guide; it could be a textbook. And so, in the near future, the guide that sophomore Juniper had "casually thrown together" was compiled into the official textbook for freshmen. The new students were completely baffled. The genius who wrote their textbook was a sophomore? It made them question their entire existence.

After her classes, Juniper returned to Cloudscape Community. She hadn't received any calls from Harold Houston all day. No news was good news. But—Ebony Fox had been poisoned for years. There was no way such a potent antidote wouldn't cause any reaction.

She pushed open the door. Ebony Fox was lying in bed. The room was dark and quiet, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly. Juniper watched her silently for two seconds before gently closing the door.

"Hold on." Juniper helped Ebony Fox back to her room, then ran to the kitchen. She quickly returned with a glass of warm water. "Drink this. I added some anti-nausea medicine," Juniper said, her expression grim. "Why didn't you say something sooner? I kept this on hand specifically for this."

"I'm used to it." Ebony Fox held the glass. The warm water immediately soothed her stomach. Being scolded by her younger sister, she felt meek. "Back at the Huntsman Institute, you just learned to endure a lot of pain until it passed."

"The past is the past," Juniper said, her voice rising with anger. But seeing Ebony Fox's weak face, she forced herself to calm down. "You didn't have a family before, no one to care about you. It's different now. You have brothers and sisters."
