The hand on her arm suddenly tightened. Xu Su felt a sharp pang of pain as she heard Xi Zirong's voice. "Be good. Answer this one last question for me, and I won't pester you anymore."
"..." Xu Su tried to pull her arm away, but he was too strong. She couldn't break free.
The music for the morning exercises ended, followed by the clamor of students from downstairs. The students were finished with their routine and would be heading back to their classrooms any second.
'The other students can't see this.' Xu Su's heart raced. She nodded her head frantically. "Yes, yes, I'm still applying to University B! Xi Zirong, you have to keep your word. Don't ever bother me again!"
'If Zhou Mochen were to find out about this, he'd surely break a few of Xi Zirong's ribs again...'
Xi Zirong smiled. "I'll keep my word."
His thumb slowly caressed the delicate skin of her arm. He only let go when Xu Su glared daggers at him, then sauntered back to his own seat.
