Explanation

After Liu Yintong and the others left, it was strangely quiet. Although they acted very confidently when arguing with Zhuo Sheng earlier, they knew that Chu Yue had become someone they couldn't offend since he was now under Rong Xiu's protection. However, it just so happened that they 'offended' him a while back. Even they themselves had no idea what their lives in the academy would be like in the future.

Gong Sheng felt especially depressed and annoyed. As he was walking next to Liu Yintong, he could see her tightly knitted eyebrows if he so much as slightly turned his face toward her. She seemed to be somewhat distracted and lost in thought as she walked forward.

He, of course, knew what was on her mind, and that was the reason why he felt all the more miserable. It must be because of him!
