Because they were running and surrounded by numerous other students, Luo Qingli didn't hear Mu Si's words clearly, but she understood what he meant.
Mu Si was telling her not to draw too much attention by showing off, to tone down a little, not to stick out like a sore thumb. Just qualifying every time is good enough.
"I get it. Mu Si, thank you!" Luo Qingli was genuinely grateful to Mu Si, not just saying thanks for the sake of it.
If it weren't for Mu Si, she might have tried her hardest to shine all the time.
"What's there to thank for, we're friends, aren't we?" Yes, they were friends. That's what Mu Si and she had agreed on.
"Right, we're friends. We're almost at the finish line. There should be food to eat, right!" Luo Qingli was now fixated on food. Can't blame her; her stomach had been growling for a while now.
"That depends on whether all of us can finish within fifty minutes." Chen Han, who felt left out, chimed in.
