Chapter 650: I saw you
Listening to Finn made Penny realize just how relatable he was. It surprised her that she could relate to him on so many levels. All this time, she had thought that another person who experienced the same phenomenon as her would be more dreadful and alarming. But it was more than that.
That thinking was shallow, and she only realized that now.
Finn and Penny shared the same phenomenon, but unlike Penny, who had to change her life entirely, Finn had it a lot easier. After all, he didn’t have to go through all the side gigs she did just to survive. Well, Penny had to survive poverty first, before facing her impending doom, right?
Finn was not like that.
Finn had a good life. He was the son of a successful couple with generational wealth. He was also smart and an excellent student from the beginning. All of his achievements in this lifetime stemmed from his first life.
That was why Finn got into the Star Section so easily when he convinced his parents to let him pursue his studies in Anteca. He didn’t have to resort to any underhanded means to get into the Star Section. However, he chose to remain in the top ten simply because that spot was a lot more thrilling than any other position in the Star Section.
The bottom line was that Finn didn’t know Penny from the beginning because the Summit School of Excellence was a new environment.
’So, he didn’t know about me for a long time, huh?’ Penny didn’t know whether to sigh in relief or bombard him with more questions. ’He still hasn’t told me who made him attend the Summit School. This cunning fox... just made me listen to all of this, including his bragging.’
Even so, Penny stayed to listen for more.
"That’s the history." Finn clapped, and at that moment, they heard a knock on the door. The two of them looked toward the entrance, only to see the server pushing in a cart with their food. "Right, I didn’t tell you, but I ordered us some food."
