Tang Xing, already jittery, was utterly confounded after witnessing the school bully's aggressive moves.

Her eyes instinctively glanced at the photo on Pei Yan's phone and she gasped, "Isn't this just Lu—"

"Xing Xing," Jiang Shuyao softly interrupted her deskmate.

It was the first time she had addressed Xing Xing by name, her voice sweet and a tad urgent, not overtly so, but sadly, it was heard by a certain someone.

The girl's reaction painted a sneer of mockery at the bottom of Pei Yan's icy eyes as he looked at Tang Xing, who was trying to keep quiet, and asked with interest, "Are you afraid of her or me?"

Tang Xing's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked desperately at the person next to her.

Despite not understanding what the plot was at the moment, for some reason, she firmly believed Yaoyao would protect her.

Being gazed at by her deskmate with those doe-like eyes, Jiang Shuyao felt nothing but helplessness and apology inside.
