"I..." He wanted to say something, but his throat was dry and itchy, and he couldn't say a word.
He forced a smile, trying to reassure himself that maybe she hadn't seen it, just in case.
"Why did you come here? I've already taken everything for you." His voice was hoarse and unpleasant; even he himself found it unfamiliar.
Ye Jiu sighed and beckoned to him, "Come here."
Lorrian felt like he'd been granted a pardon, picked up the homework from the ground, and ran over, saying, "Your homework."
Ye Jiu shook her head, "No need, I've been waiting for you for a long time and you haven't come, so I might as well rewrite it on the spot."
Lorien's lips turned pale. "Yes, I'm sorry, I was too slow. Please don't be angry, it won't happen again."
He swallowed hard, awaiting Ye Jiu's judgment.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jiu raised her hand and ruffled his hair, "They bullied you first, didn't they?"
"Huh? Hmm." Lorian nodded blankly, a development completely different from what he had imagined.
Are you alright?
He shook his head. "No, I'm not injured."
"That's good. You did a great job. The magic that changed the position of the trees was also very well done. Very impressive."
"Aren't you...aren't you angry? I, I..." He pointed at those people, but didn't know what to say.
“They tried to attack first, and there was no surveillance magic to see it, so you did the right thing. Just don’t be so… well, too bloody next time. Make them stop.”

Ye Jiu grabbed Luo Ruian's hand. "Alright, let's go back to the dorm for dinner."
Luo Rui'an felt incredulous as Ye Jiu pulled him along. Was this all... over just like that?
He still hadn't quite grasped the situation. "Don't you think I'm being unreasonable?"
"But they were the ones who tried to use violence first. You were just protecting yourself. Although violence is not the best solution, it is the most effective one. As long as you didn't get hurt, that's all that matters."
Lorien lowered his eyes. "Really? You're really not angry?"
"Hey, if I were angry I would have punched you already. What are you dawdling about here for? Let's go, don't let anyone see us passing by." Ye Jiu gently tapped his head. "I want you to make me steak!"
Lorien's nose tingled with emotion, but he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make it right away when we get back. How well-done do you want it?"
"You need to ask me that? Don't you know? Of course, it should be medium-rare!"
As an Easterner, I absolutely forbid myself from eating raw food!
