"That's good." A slight smile curved Shen Yuan's lips as he stood up. "Let's go."
Li Zhi didn't get up right away. She quickly tidied her books and pencil case on the desk, as if it were a task more important than eating. She even adjusted the books to be perfectly aligned with the edge of the desk.
After Li Zhi finished, she perhaps felt it was a little absurd herself, and stole a glance at Shen Yuan.
When she saw Shen Yuan looking at her with a knowing smirk, the girl's head shot down, and she stood up with a WHOOSH.
Shen Yuan smiled faintly and stepped out from his seat. Li Zhi slowly followed.
They walked almost side-by-side, but a subtle space remained between them as they headed out of the classroom, one slightly ahead of the other.
Without a word, He Zhiyu and Zhuo Peipei exchanged a look. With a silent understanding, they rose from their seats and began to trail Shen Yuan and Li Zhi from a distance of a few paces.
