Sunlight streamed through the cold glass windows of the science building, lazily settling on his brow, which was furrowed in frustration.
Just then, a faint CLICK came from beside him.
It was Li Zhi, capping her pen.
Shen Yuan glanced sideways and saw the beautiful girl sitting at an angle, her elbow propped on the desk and her chin cupped in her hand, watching him.
Her clear eyes held no particular emotion. She was simply watching him intently, with a knowing look that seemed to see right through him.
"Hey."
Li Zhi's voice, though not loud, sounded exceptionally clear to Shen Yuan, whose mind was completely preoccupied with his grades.
He subconsciously straightened up a bit, his face still showing traces of his anxiety. "Hm?"
Li Zhi pressed her soft, pink lips together for a moment, as if carefully considering her words.
She blinked, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow in the light, and then spoke in a tone that was somewhere between comforting and teasing.
