Zhao Yuan followed Lin Xue toward the school gate, with Yang Zi and Wu Yan close behind them.
After just a few steps, Yang Zi glanced sideways at Wu Yan, frowned, and said, "What are you following us for? To be a third wheel? Xiaoxue is treating her benefactor to a meal; she didn't invite you."
"Aren't you following too?" Wu Yan said, looking aggrieved.
Yang Zi huffed and retorted, "How can you compare yourself to me? I'm Xiaoxue's best friend!"
"And I'm Third Brother's good brother!" Wu Yan argued back.
Yang Zi waved her hand dismissively. "Enough nonsense. Just stop following us. Go on, get lost!"
