Lin Zhiyi quickly grasped her hand, "Of course I forgive you. I know you had no choice. I believe in you."
Her face, tinged with the smell of alcohol, carried a very genuine warmth as she smiled.
Shen Yan nodded vigorously, but inwardly she scoffed.
So naive, still remembering those little favors to this day, you deserved to be deceived!
Shen Yan switched to a concerned tone, "Zhiyi, I heard you're dropping out of the competition? It's really okay, just honestly look for a job. There's no need to be so competitive."
"Shen Yan, as my good best friend, shouldn't you be encouraging me?"
"I... I just don't want you to take on too much, that's all I meant," Shen Yan stammered.
"Hmm, speaking of the competition, I noticed that someone tampered with my design draft. You have the key to my dorm, right?" Lin Zhiyi probed.
