Lin Ruoxi froze, stealing a glance at Xue Rui. She didn't understand what he meant by 'not opposing'.
She felt like something was off, but...then again, maybe it wasn't.
Although her grandmother didn't like Xue Rui, she rarely objected to anything he did.
Except for those stockings...
"Mm..." Lin Ruoxi nodded.
'It's not like Xue Rui said anything wrong,' she thought.
Hearing her response, Qiu Mengze's expression turned grim. It was a miserable, twisted look, somewhere between a smile and a sob...
He didn't hear the rest of their conversation.
He just felt that the food today was exceptionally bland, like chewing on wax.
「During evening self-study.」
Xue Rui switched seats with Lin Ruoxi's deskmate and sat down next to her.
Lin Ruoxi felt a little nervous. Her previous deskmate had also been a quiet girl, but now, suddenly, it was Xue Rui.
