The moment the bell rang to end evening study hall, it was like a signal, and the classroom instantly grew noisy.
The scraping of chairs and desks being moved rose and fell, weaving together with the bell to form a unique symphony.
Shen Yuan sat quietly in his seat, his gaze fixed on Li Zhi beside him.
His lips were pressed into a thin line, and he seemed to have something on his mind.
Li Zhi noticed something was off with him. She turned her head, a faint smile on her face, and asked, "What's wrong? Why the long face?"
Their eyes met. He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up. "I..."
But just as the words were on the tip of his tongue, he stopped.
Under Li Zhi's expectant gaze, Shen Yuan fell silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I have cleaning duty next week."
After hearing this, Li Zhi took a deep breath to compose herself.
