Leaning against the wall in the hallway, I gazed at the silent classrooms around me... and suddenly remembered why I’d come here today.

“Brother~ What are you thinking about?”

I didn’t know when, but Yuxuan had already run to stand in front of me.

“Nothing much, just looking around. Since you’re done with the restroom, let’s head back!”

Yuxuan suddenly grabbed my sleeve. Curious, I turned to look at her. She turned her head aside, her fair little hand held up high.

Seeing a hint of crimson blush on her face, I couldn’t help but feel amused.

“Yuxuan, what are you trying to do?”

“Hmph~ Stupid brother, figure it out yourself!”

Though she said that, her hand held high in the air showed no sign of coming down.

I took her hand and continued toward the club room. But for some reason, the moment I held her hand, I felt a stiffness in it.

We walked slowly, and the sound of our footsteps echoed clearly in the hallway.

“Daji, you should go home. I’ve got this covered here!”

“Flat-chest, I’m utterly amazed that you even have the gall to stay here!”

“Lady Daji, your behavior is quite different from how you act in class!”

“Someone who skips classes five times more than they attend has no right to comment on my behavior in class.”

How long had I walked, yet they were still arguing. At that moment, I truly didn’t get what there was to fight over.

Knock knock knock...

I knocked hard on the door, hoping they’d notice. But to my anger, they only argued even more fiercely.

“Quiet down!” I finally couldn’t stand their noise and shouted.

Sunny Su finally turned around and looked me in the eyes, a clear trace of anger still on her face.

“Li Ze, come and settle this. This person suddenly appeared in my club room. As the president, don’t I have the right to reprimand her?”

Luo Yu shot Sunny Su a disdainful glance, then bit into a chocolate bar.

“This building was built by my family. Don’t I have the right to come in and sit?”

“Quiet down, both of you! I came here to do homework. If you must argue, take it next door. Or you stay here and argue—I’ll go next door!” I shouted at them.

Suddenly, the two wilted like deflated balloons and sat down at their seats. Ye Qian and Zhao Yi, who had been watching the show from the side, also lowered their heads.

I sighed and sat down to the side. Of course, Yuxuan obediently sat beside me and handed me my homework.

I stroked her head. She hid her face under her hair, and I couldn’t see her expression at all.

“Yuxuan, you should do some homework too. Otherwise, after I arrange your enrollment, you might fall behind in class.”

Yuxuan obediently nodded. “Mhm~ I’ll listen to you, Brother.”

I looked around. Sunny Su had somehow started studying. Ye Qian and Zhao Yi were glued to their games; if not for their headphones, I’d have slapped them silly...

*cough cough* And Luo Yu kept pulling chocolate bars from a box beside her, phone in hand, engrossed in who-knows-what. The occasional faint blush on her face confirmed she wasn’t watching anything wholesome.

But... others’ privacy isn’t really my concern. I should focus on my own work first. Thinking that, I lowered my head and started on my homework.
