The first class meeting didn't last very long, and once it ended, people began to trickle out.
However, before leaving, many of them snuck a few extra glances at Shen Nian. Some even wanted to approach her and strike up a conversation, but after what Xu Zhe had said, they felt a bit too awkward to get close to her for the time being.
Still, they were all classmates. There was plenty of time ahead of them; they were bound to have opportunities eventually!
While some had been envious of Shen Nian's special treatment—a classic case of sour grapes—Xu Zhe's words had served as a wake-up call for many.
'Shen Nian is exceptionally talented, so it's only natural for her to receive better treatment. Blind jealousy won't help us catch up to her ability!'
'So, the best thing to do is to work hard and improve ourselves. And since Shen Nian is our classmate, it's far better to be on good terms with her than on bad terms!'
