Just then, Ji Nianqin's voice came from the end of the corridor: "Jiuyuan, so you're here."
He held a beautifully packaged box in his hand. "My mom asked me to bring you some snacks, saying they were your favorites when you were little."
His appearance was like a match, instantly igniting the gunpowder in the air.
Rong Shenghan pulled Yu Jiuyuan behind him, his smile gentle yet sharp: "Student Ji seems to have a lot of free time."
"No matter how busy you are, you can't forget Jiu Yuan." Ji Nianqin looked at Yu Jiu Yuan. "Want to try some? It's still the same old taste."
Before Yu Jiuyuan could speak, Rong Shenghan had already taken the box and casually handed it to a student passing by: "Thank you for your kindness, Ji. Jiuyuan hasn't been eating sweets lately."
Ji Nianqin's expression stiffened for a moment, then she smiled again: "Really? That's quite unfortunate."

But he enjoyed it nonetheless.
He would accept anything as long as he could remain in her grasp, even if he was just a pawn on her scales.
The golden light of the setting sun shone through the corridor windows, casting long, intertwined shadows of the two people, like an entanglement that would never end.
Meanwhile, in the distant library, laboratory, and student union office, three hearts beat for her, each in its own place, waiting for her favor.
Yu Jiuyuan looked at the scales in her palm, a smile that went unnoticed by anyone.
She will continue playing the game of balancing.
Until everyone willingly prostrated themselves at her feet.
