Qingran didn't need to check the rankings to know she had scored second place in her grade.
There was still some time before class started, when Ruan Ruan charged into the classroom and hugged Qingran's neck: "Wow! Second place in the grade, second place! You're truly my Ranran!"
She looked even happier than if she had scored second place herself.
Qingran coughed twice, choked by her embrace.
Li Ce, who had also arrived early, couldn't stand by anymore and yelled, "Ruan Ruan, what are you doing? You're choking Qingran."
Prompted by Li Ce's loud voice, the students who had arrived early all turned their attention here.
Ruan Ruan was taken aback and quickly let go of Qingran.
Qingran, holding her neck, coughed twice more.
Ruan Ruan didn't know what to do with her guilt: "Ranran, sorry, I, I was just too excited."
Qingran waved it off, "No worries, no worries."
Ruan Ruan then looked at Li Ce, and Li Ce raised his eyebrows at her, his expression teasingly mischievous.
