Xue Rui arrived next to the doghole and cautiously stuck his head out to look around.
"You can't trust your gut."
Xue Rui sighed. He was just about to head back to the classroom to find Lin Ruoxi.
But then, Lin Ruoxi suddenly popped up from below his line of sight.
"What are you doing hiding here?" Xue Rui jumped, startled. Lin Ruoxi had actually been waiting for him here.
Lin Ruoxi really was bold. It was pitch-black beside the doghole, and she was crouched silently in a corner by the wall.
Lin Ruoxi kept her head down. She had startled Xue Rui, but she didn't dare apologize. 'If he scolds me, it'll be over soon,' she thought.
However, Xue Rui didn't scold her. He just hunched his shoulders and shivered from the cold.
It was an involuntary reflex, a reaction to the biting cold that he couldn't control.
"Are you cold?" Lin Ruoxi quickly unwound her scarf and, raising her hands, looped it round and round Xue Rui's neck until it muffled his face.
