"Si Wen, aren't you going home yet?"
"What's wrong? Afraid I'll follow you home?"
Lin Xi nodded earnestly. "Yes."

"Can't be helped. I'm a good kid, after all!"
"Good kids don't go around calling themselves that."
"I don't care. In any case, I don't want you coming home with me this week."
This week, she wanted to spend more time with Xue Yang—private time, just the two of them.
Si Wen made a face at Lin Xi. "Fine, I won't go! Stingy!"
