Haruka and Keiko kept staring at her. "Haruka, what's wrong with you today?"
"I……"
"Ms. Keiko, Chunzi had a fever and fainted yesterday, and she's still not feeling well today."
As Su Deng was making an excuse, Taozi spoke up for her and winked at her from where Chunhe Huizi couldn't see.
It has to be said that having a smart and tacit classmate is very useful when you get caught by the teacher in class.
Su Deng understood, and immediately covered her head with her hands and swayed on the spot, "Teacher, I feel a little dizzy today..."

She looked at the tall mountain, wondering if she could sneak up and take a look.
In the evening, after class, Peach came to see her.
"You're so heartless." Seeing her, Peach scolded her impatiently, "I made an excuse for you to rest, but you just went and snuggled into that second prince's arms..."
Su Deng's lips twitched slightly. "Wasn't it because I was close by?"
"I'm three steps away from you, and she's eight steps away. Who's closer?"
