“Alright!” Eagle stood up first and beckoned his brothers to stand up as well. “That’s enough, Miss Rong forgives us. You can get up now.”
The group of people instantly straightened their backs in a flash.
Rong Qi’s temple throbbed. She furrowed her brow slightly, preparing to enter the lecture building. The group automatically made way for her, watching her as she passed.
Rong Qi always felt like there were a hundred pairs of eyes on her back. When she turned around, she found that Eagle and the others were still standing in place. She bit her lip and said, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
Eagle rubbed his bald head, chuckling, and said, “Miss Rong, we were wrong before, so to make amends, we decided to voluntarily protect you and Miss Lu Qi on campus for a month.”
“No need.”
“Why? While our skills might not match yours, we can still act as human shields for you and Miss Lu Qi.”
Rong Qi said, “It’s annoying.”
Eagle and the others felt like they were being hit. They pouted, “In that case, since you don’t want that, we will volunteer at Capital University in your and Miss Lu Qi’s names for a month.”
Rong Qi lowered her gaze, pondering for a moment, and said, “Alright.”
Rong Qi thought it was still better than drawing so much attention and causing a nuisance.
Eagle smiled and said, “Okay, we’ll go find things to do now!”
With that said, Eagle began to organize the group to carry out tasks.
Rong Qi felt a headache coming on, rubbing her temples before climbing the stairs.
Inside the classroom, most of the Class 7 members had already arrived. It wasn’t that they had come early; it was that Rong Qi liked to arrive punctually.
Every time Rong Qi arrived, it was neither too late nor too early. She timed it just right.
Once Rong Qi sat down, Lu Qi pulled her aside to whisper, “Seven, did you see that group of people just now? Are they crazy? When I came in the morning, I almost got scared out of my wits seeing them. 1 thought they were all here to cause trouble at the university!”
Lu Qi spoke with lingering fear.
Rong Qi comforted Lu Qi, “It’s alright. I’m sorry for dragging you into this mess last time.”
“What’s with the apology? We’re best of friends. Why are you saying all this to me? Even if it were you who got tied up that day, I would have gone too! True friends are willing to sacrifice for each other. It’s an unspoken understanding between us!” Lu Qi interrupted, speaking with an air of grandeur.
‘True friends are willing to sacrifice for each other…’ Rong Qi was dazed, her head lowered, lost in thought.
Today’s lesson was on management. It was the first time Rong Qi had been so absent-minded during a lesson. She neither listened nor read her own books. Instead, she gazed at her textbook, her eyes vacant.
While Lu Qi was carefree, she noticed Rong Qi’s unusual behavior due to the sensitivity unique to girls. She asked, “Seven, are you upset?”
Rong Qi shook her head.
“But I feel like something’s bothering you. Why don’t you tell me? 1 promise not to tell anyone.” Lu Qi continued.
Rong Qi smiled faintly and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s focus on the lesson. This topic, sensitivity coefficient, is crucial. It has a significant impact on the final exam.”
Lu Qi frowned. She thought her deskmate was a bit too amazing. She hadn’t even paid attention to the lesson, yet she knew what was being taught.
‘Sigh, another day of being demoralized by the desk mate who’s a study genius! 1 vowed that 1 would study hard from now on, striving to shine just like my deskmate!’ Lu Qi thought.
After blinking her eyes, Lu Qi was about to chat with Rong Qi again when she was poked with a pen from behind by Huang Hao.
Lu Qi glared at him angrily.
Huang Hao cleared his throat lightly and said, “Stop talking. The old man has been watching you two the whole time..”
