The first class in the morning was English. As usual, Ji Yanchen entered the Class 8 classroom as the bell rang.
After placing his book on the podium, the man looked up at Shi Miao, and when he saw Lu Hansheng, his eyes flickered slightly. "And this student is?"
"Lu Hansheng." Upon hearing this, Lu Hansheng knew that he was being referred to and stood up to answer.
"Okay, sit down." Ji Yanchen pushed up his glasses with one hand and began the lesson.
Lu Hansheng lowered his eyelids, his fingers gripping the pen tightening suddenly. The moment Ji Yanchen spoke, he knew that Ji Yanchen was the man who had spoken to Shi Miao on the phone at the hospital last time.
"Damn, I just felt like I was in a chaotic mess," Ji Sinian said in a low voice, touching his neck.
"Why are you acting so neurotic every day?" Shi Miao casually tapped her phone screen and glanced at him.
“That’s a man’s intuition, you wouldn’t understand,” Ji Sinian said seriously, resting his chin on his hand. “Holy crap, Sister Miao, you’re still playing on your phone during my uncle’s class.”
"Tsk, can't you play secretly?"
"Be careful, my uncle might call you up to answer a question."
"Shi Miao, explain why the answer to this question is B." Ji Yanchen's cool and lazy voice came from the podium.
Shi Miao: "..." This idiot's mouth must be blessed.
"Ahem, I don't know which question it is either." Ji Sinian touched the bridge of his nose and looked at Shi Miao apologetically.
"I don't know," Shi Miao said matter-of-factly.
"Tsk, you should pay attention in class. You can stand here at the podium and listen," Ji Yanchen said slowly.
The last time Shi Miao was this speechless was the last time. She casually picked up the test paper and pen and went to the side of the podium.
"Put the things here." A hint of a smile flashed in Ji Yanchen's eyes as he lightly tapped the table with his slender fingers.
Lu Hansheng still caught the fleeting smile in Ji Yanchen's eyes, knowing he was doing it on purpose. His fingers unconsciously traced the exam paper. What exactly was his relationship with Shi Miao...?
...
After class, Lu Hansheng turned around and, seeing that Ji Sinian was not there, casually asked, "Shi Miao, you and Teacher Ji seem to be quite familiar with each other."
"You seem quite concerned about my interpersonal relationships?" Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile.
Lu Hansheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was just asking casually."
Shi Miao simply said "hmm" and handed the test paper back to him.
Lu Hansheng knew he had been too hasty. He lowered his eyelids, silently took the test paper, and turned around.

Gu Yanxin had been trying to keep a low profile at school these past few days, and thankfully Lu Wenyuan hadn't said anything, which relieved her slightly. Having been in the capital for so many days, attending classes during the day, practicing piano at night, and having extra classes on weekends, Gu Yanxin felt like she was spinning like a top. But when she thought about getting into Tsinghua University and giving Shi Miao a good slap in the face, she felt it was all worth it.
Just then, the phone rang. It was Yun Rujin calling, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. "Hello, Mom."
Yun Rujin: "Xinxin, you've been in the capital for so long, and you haven't called your mother yet."
Gu Yanxin: "Mom, I'm really too busy. I have to go to class and practice piano every day. I really don't have time. I'm so tired that I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow."
Yun Rujin: "Even when you're busy, you should remember to rest."
Gu Yanxin: "Okay, I'll talk to you later, I'm going to practice the piano."
Gu Yanxin hung up the phone before Yun Rujin could finish speaking, and looked up at Gu Wanqing who had just returned, "Auntie, you're back."
"Well, I have something to tell you. The Piano Association is holding an arrangement competition. If you win, it will greatly help your independent enrollment exam, and the first place winner can become a member of the association." Gu Wanqing pinched her brow and sat down on the sofa.
Gu Yanxin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, not expecting that her chance to break into high society would come so soon.
After calming down, she said confidently, "I will try my best to get first place, Auntie."
Gu Wanqing raised her eyelids and gave a faint "hmm".
