While savoring the feeling she had just experienced, Shang Yunmiao quickly returned home.

Where should I study? In the study or in my bedroom?

While Shang Yunmiao was hesitating, Chen Bing took the initiative to suggest, "Let's go back to the room together. We can keep each other accountable for our studies and prepare well for the bar exam the day after tomorrow."

The phrase "mutual supervision" sounded rather unserious coming from Chen Bing's mouth. The scales in Shang Yunmiao's heart, which had been wavering, tipped because of Chen Bing's invitation, but not in the direction he expected.

"No, I need to go back to my room to study. If I stay with you, Chen Bing, I'll definitely get disturbed."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bing felt as if he had been falsely accused. He asked with a pained expression, "Is that how you see me? Have you forgotten how happy we were when we supervised each other's studies?"

After chuckling, Shang Yunmiao lifted her backpack and waved her hand, saying, "Things are different now. Chen Bing looks really strange today. I don't want to be with you, or I'll definitely be influenced."

As she spoke, the girl naturally took a step back.

Although it was heartbreaking, there was nothing that could be done. Seeing Shang Yunmiao's resolute expression, Chen Bing, who already had a guilty conscience, couldn't say anything.

His sorrowful heart sighed again and again, but in the end he said nothing, and with a half-smile he raised his hand to bid farewell to Shang Yunmiao.

Back in her room, Xiao Shang was focused on her studies. After taking a shower, changing into her pajamas, and having a quick bite to eat, she went to her bedroom to concentrate on her studies.

Meanwhile, back in her bedroom, Chen Bing felt increasingly uneasy and uneasy.

After sorting through what had just happened, Chen Bing thought that the reason why Xiao Shang disregarded their revolutionary friendship and resolutely refused her invitation to study together was because she suspected that her intentions were not pure.

While that is indeed the case, wouldn't it confirm her suspicions if I were to slink back like this?

After much thought, Chen Bing suddenly realized something.

He thought to himself, the less Xiao Shang believed in him, the more he should act like a gentleman.

As the saying goes, "Man fights for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense," and Chen Bing, feeling distrusted, desperately wanted to prove her innocence to Shang Yunmiao.

Guided by the above ideas, he turned around and prepared to go to Shang Yunmiao's room, intending to show her through his actions what an upright person he was.

But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem like there's any rush.

Knowing Xiao Shang as I do, I figured she'd definitely take a shower, change clothes, and eat something to replenish her energy as soon as she got back. Going too early wouldn't be good enough to impress her, so I'd better wait a bit.

Thinking of this, he turned back from the doorway to his desk.

No, no, let's take another look.

After leaving the room, Chen Bing first observed the bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Confirming that Shang Yunmiao was in her own bedroom, Chen Bing thought it wouldn't be good to visit Shang empty-handed. She decided to use this time to make some cookies for her.

The decisive Mr. Chen immediately set to work, walking straight into the kitchen and beginning the young cook's duties.
