Shen Yuan stood at the door, taking in the peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Even though he had more or less guessed this would be the case, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of… disappointment.
Just then, the beautiful girl with her back to him seemed unable to hold it in any longer.
She slowly turned her head, her clear, bright eyes landing on the figure standing frozen at the door.
A barely perceptible smile touched the corners of Li Zhi's lips. Her large, expressive eyes clearly reflected Shen Yuan's crestfallen and resigned expression.
With a hint of smug satisfaction, Li Zhi's voice rang out softly.
"What are you doing just standing there, dumbass?"
Shen Yuan cleared his throat, trying to shake off the disappointment in his heart.
"I'm here."
Shen Yuan quickly walked over to the chair on the other side of the desk and set his heavy backpack on it. As he unzipped it, he tried to cover up his earlier blunder with conversation.
