Chen Qingnuan shrugged then said something to Cui Yao and the latter covered her mouth so she wouldn't laugh too loud.
Someone else came to sit beside Xueyan, it was Fangxi.
Zhaolin couldn't make out what she said to Xueyan, but Xueyan shook her head.
Cui Yao then spoke up from behind her, Xueyan's reaction said she was frightened, she jumped from her chair then started to pack her things.
Cui Yao put a hand over Xueyan's trembling hand. She spoke to Xueyan again.
Xueyan shook her head and forced her hand out of Cui Yao's grasp. Since she had done it with force, it slammed against the other chair behind her.
Grease formed on Xueyan's forehead then she hissed.
Zhaolin wanted to rush in, but the words from the boys earlier drifted into his ears.
And just at the right time, Jiuwen rushed to where Xueyan was.
Jiuwen flashed Xueyan the brightest smile, and Zhaolin watched himself sigh in relief.
