Lin Nian was incredibly frustrated. She grumbled to herself, 'Is this really that so-called protagonist's halo?'
Meanwhile, Shen Yi finished packing his schoolbag. He calmly looked at Chen Feng, who had completely lost his usual composure. "Not only will you never catch up to Qin Jiao, but I'll surpass you next time, too."
Chen Feng: "..."
Shen Yi ignored the seething Chen Feng, reaching out to tug on Qin Jiao's schoolbag. "Let's go. Time to head home."
He actually wanted to take her small hand. A dark glint flashed in his eyes, but he ultimately gave up on the idea, settling for tugging on her backpack strap instead.
Qin Jiao nodded and followed Shen Yi out.
They left the two of them standing there, looking ready to explode with anger.
Once they had left the school grounds, Qin Jiao pulled her scarf tighter around her neck and said, "I knew Chen Feng would be affected, but I didn't expect his mental fortitude to be so poor. Still, it proves he's conflicted."
