Chapter 115

Author's POV:

A week had passed since Huang Yanyan's lavish birthday celebration, and the halls of the elite First High School were abuzz with the usual blend of academic ambition and social maneuvering. However, amidst the familiar rhythms of school life, a curious dance was unfolding between two of the institution's most prominent students.

Huang Yanyan strode confidently through the crowded corridor, her designer bag slung casually over one shoulder. As she approached her locker, she caught sight of Song Yangyao hovering nearby, an overly bright smile plastered across her perfectly made-up face.

"Yanyan!" Song Yangyao called out, her voice dripping with manufactured cheer. "I was hoping to catch you before class. How are you this morning?"

Huang Yanyan suppressed a smirk, marveling at the transparency of Song Yangyao's act. She decided to play along, curious to see how far this charade would go.
