At this, Gao Qi's eyes instantly lit up. He tilted his small face upward, full of joy. "So... will you go tomorrow? I can wait for you at the foot of the mountain."
"I'm not sure what time."
Upon hearing this, Gao Qi's joyful expression immediately fell.
"Why does it matter to you whether I go or not?" Ye Qianning couldn't help but ask.
"Uh... I... I don't really have any friends."
'Ye Qianning had noticed this at the academy before. Almost no one ever spent time with him. In the modern world, he would be a textbook case of being ostracized.'
'Prime Minister Gao had a poor reputation, so many officials and students were unwilling to associate with his son. The prestigious noble families seemed to disdain him, and even kids his own age refused to play with someone who was so short he looked like a child.'
'He was actually quite pitiful!'
