Chapter 226 Inside and Outside the Window

Nicholas had become increasingly silent.

This fact, beside Fifi who studied with him every day, was only noticeable to a few others like Zheng Qing. Although the majority of the class did not mock Nicholas as intensely as the students from other classes or from Alpha did, they did not stand behind him to cheer him on either.
