[21] The tactic of 'obeying in public but opposing in private' doesn't work on him_1

"I... I came out for dinner, the cafeteria was too crowded."

Acheng silently looked at the bag slung on her, filled to the brim, clearly with books. If she were simply out for dinner, there would be no need to carry books, right?

This was what she had planned early in the morning—asking for leave to visit Xu Kewei, but she told Mu Tianying that she was studying. As long as she returned before the self-study period ended, there should have been no issue.

However, she hadn't expected Mu Tianying to guess her intentions. He had someone waiting here to catch her!
