【29】Are you... a relative of Wanqing?_1

"Transfer school? Why?"

"To which school?"

"You're in your senior year. It must be a better school, right? It seems like nothing but Tsinghua University or Peking University will do!"

She didn't explain, just packed her books, shouldered her bag and held a stack in her arms. She smiled and said, "Goodbye."

She left the classroom just as the bell rang. Within a few seconds, the hallways and stairs fell eerily silent before the entire campus followed suit.

Holding her books, she slowly descended the stairs and suddenly heard a voice from behind. "Ding Wanqing."

Recognizing Wei Linshu's voice, she paused for a moment but did not turn around. Seeing her reaction, Wei Linshu hurriedly chased after her: "Let me walk you out!"

"No need!" Wanqing said impatiently, "You should go back to class."

Wei Linshu looked somewhat embarrassed: "These books are heavy. Let me help you carry them, at least to the school gate..."

"Really, it's not necessary!" Wanqing quickly descended the stairs.
