She quickened her pace, carrying the plastic bag, without answering. Jiang Yanli followed her leisurely, a box of strawberry milk appearing in her hand at some point.
"Bring this along too."
"So, what piece did you practice yesterday?"
Are you planning to apply to an arts school?
He handed over the milk.
When Zi Xi took the milk, her fingertips accidentally brushed against his warm palm. Jiang Yanli immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, but still stubbornly stared at her, waiting for an answer.
"Moonlight Concerto, I won't go to an arts school, I want to go to one of the top ten universities in the country."
She finally spoke, and seeing the boy's interested eyes, she added her own aspirations.
Jiang Yanli muttered, "No wonder she studies every day. Isn't she afraid of turning herself into an idiot?"
"What?"
"It's nothing. With your attitude towards learning, you'll definitely achieve your goals."
"To save time, let's ride in my car."
"And another thing! Don't run so fast after school today. As compensation for the emotional distress caused by your neglect of me last night, I want to hear you practice the piano live!"
Jiang Yanli quickened her pace, took two steps to overtake her, and walked backwards while talking.
The gloom and rage I felt last night vanished the moment I saw her.
In the morning light, the hem of his robe, which he raised as he turned around, brushed against Zi Xi's hand, like a smug cat's tail rubbing against its owner's leg.

When Zixi arrived in the classroom, she heard from her classmates who were talking about what had happened in the dormitory the previous evening.
Zi Xi's gaze swept across the classroom without making a sound. Had the female lead left or not come at all?
That was clearly none of her business, so she looked away and continued writing her problem. Just as her pen touched the paper, she heard a cold snort.
"With so few people, who are we supposed to contact?"
“You’ve looked around the classroom four times since I entered.”
Jiang Yanli rested her chin on one hand, tilted her head and stared at her, her tone sour.
It seems that no matter what, a gossipy heart can't be hidden!
But she absolutely cannot break her public persona!
Zi Xi paused with her pen, then said calmly, "I didn't see anything."
Jiang Yanli narrowed her eyes and suddenly reached out to press down on her notebook: "You're not looking for the main character of their gossip, that transfer student who had the dorm battle last night?"
Zi Xi raised her eyes, met his probing gaze, and calmly said, "She is my adoptive parents' biological daughter."
"They already kicked you out, so what business is it of yours that she's your biological daughter? Whether she comes or not is none of your concern."
"You weren't forced by your adoptive mother to take care of her biological daughter, were you?"
Jiang Yanli's tone suddenly turned cold, and she tapped her fingers twice on the table.
He had thoroughly investigated Zi Xi's background and felt that such a family did not need to repay a debt of gratitude. Zi Xi's decision not to seek revenge against the Chu family was already more than enough to repay their kindness in raising her!
But he wouldn't refrain from doing things that Zi Xi wouldn't do.
But surely this fool doesn't still harbor any illusions about her adoptive parents!
She must be a complete idiot.
Zi Xi didn't answer, but gently moved his hand away, pulled back her notebook, and continued writing her questions.
The original owner of this body did not intend to take revenge on anyone, but as long as she lived a better life, it would be the greatest mockery of the Chu family.
Jiang Yanli stared at her for a few seconds, but didn't get a reply or see Zixi pleading for help.
He suddenly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.
"Fine, if you want to be the Chu family's obedient daughter, then keep doing it. Don't blame me for not warning you, they're not a good family."
"Don't let yourself get sold out one day and still be helping the seller count the money!!!"
Jiang Yanli sneered, picked up her coat, and turned to leave.
Zi Xi paused for a moment, thinking that Jiang Yanli might have a little princess living inside her, and that she was probably on her period today.
Never mind him, keep studying.
