Of course, she wouldn't be like this when Shi Qiuhe and Zhen Su spoke to her.
When they spoke to her, she would feign a happy and sunny disposition in her replies. An obedient, eager-to-please look seemed welded to her face, as if this was the only way she could hold on to her new mom and dad's affection.
Shi Qiuhe's mind was elsewhere, so he didn't notice her inner workings, simply assuming Xu Shengxia had a people-pleasing personality.
Zhen Su noticed Xu Shengxia's profound lack of security. However, with Shi Qiuhe so worried about Shi Yubai, she didn't feel it was the right time to comfort her.
She simply made a mental note of it, planning to make it up to her later or give her more love and care to ease her insecurities.
「The fourth day.」
Xu Shengxia was taken to school by Shi Qiuhe and Zhen Su.
At the time, the third year of high school was still divided into liberal arts and science tracks.
