"Stop nagging... You should have reminded me sooner..."

"It doesn't matter, only I saw it, they didn't."

"You saw it too?!"

Xia Lian's eyes widened slightly at what she had just witnessed, her mouth forming a small "O" as she looked at Yin Tao. "Wow, so amazing..."

Is this what it means to be a master at making friends? One brilliant move and you've made friends with almost half the class—that's incredibly effective!

"Hmm...?" Still feeling shy, Yin Tao noticed Xia Lian's adoring gaze. "What's wrong, sis? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xia Lian was stunned for a moment, then reacted after a few seconds, "I'm a little... envious of you."

"ah?"

This time, it was Yin Tao's turn to be dumbfounded.

Envious of me? Envious of what? Envious that someone almost saw my panties just now?

"You really are an idiot." Ye Qingzhou couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head helplessly, and then reached out to pinch her cheek.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

He pretended not to hear Yin Tao's wails and whispered in her ear, "Didn't you notice that this girl is very introverted and doesn't talk much? Of course she's envious that you have friends! Stupid."

"I know, I know! Let go of my face!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou released her fingers.

Yin Tao, looking pitiful, rubbed her flushed cheeks and continued, "Making friends should be easy, although I don't know how I made friends. It seems like I suddenly have a whole bunch of friends."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and showed her friends to the two people in front of her. "Making friends can't be rushed. You might make friends just by chatting with them, ah..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Tao quickly covered her mouth. She had forgotten that Xia Lian was one of the quieter people, and that if she talked on and on, Xia Lian might treat her like a Versailles.

"Um, um! I'm sorry, Xiaolian... I said too much just now, a little, a little..."

"Tsk, you should say less." Ye Qingzhou clicked his tongue, then looked at Xia Lian indifferently.

"Let's get to know each other first."

"Me too! Me too!" Yin Tao exaggeratedly raised her hand.
