Ren Qingqiu was talking with Qiu Xinyu when the classroom suddenly fell silent for a second.
Before she could process what was happening, she caught a whiff of the lingering fragrance of blooming orange petals in the air.
Looking up over her shoulder, she saw Bai Yuxi in a black uniform standing behind her, though she didn’t know when she had arrived.
Bai Yuxi’s long hair was styled up, accentuating a beautifully defined jawline. Even though the northern military uniform revealed no skin, Ren Qingqiu was momentarily taken aback.
However, she quickly snapped back to reality. When Bai Yuxi glanced her way, she immediately turned her head away, pretending not to see her.
Bai Yuxi paused for a few seconds.
In Bai Yuxi’s impression, this person usually carried a cheerful demeanor, but she had never seen her so serious and expressionless as she was now.
Bai Yuxi walked straight over.
“Ren Qingqiu, come out with me for a moment.”
—Wasn’t she just talking to her fiancée? Does she want to give someone a lecture again?
Ren Qingqiu looked up with an unpleasant tone. “Do you need something from me?”
Hearing her tone, Bai Yuxi felt a bit uncomfortable, but after a few seconds of silence, she nodded.
Ren Qingqiu raised an eyebrow at her expression. “I’m not going.”
“What?” Bai Yuxi frowned.
—Why does she act like I should comply with everything she says?
Ren Qingqiu lazily pointed at the textbook in front of her. “I’m still in class.”
“…”
Bai Yuxi glanced at the untouched page of Ren Qingqiu’s textbook and, after a long silence, simply sat down beside her, holding a military knife.
Seeing Bai Yuxi sit down, Qiu Xinyu and Xie Feiyu gasped in surprise.
Ren Qingqiu was momentarily stunned. “What are you doing sitting here?”
“I’m waiting for you,” Bai Yuxi replied, her tone neither warm nor cold.
—What’s going on with her today?
Ren Qingqiu felt that Bai Yuxi was acting a bit strange today.
As the class continued, Ren Qingqiu sensed people occasionally glancing in her direction.
The reason was obvious; it was unusual for a top student from a different grade to sit in the back row, holding a military knife, and not attract attention.
“Commander, the other students are terrified,” Ren Qingqiu remarked with a smile.
Bai Yuxi calmly glanced at the two people next to Ren Qingqiu. “Did I scare you?”
Qiu Xinyu immediately shook her head, eager to show her survival instincts. “Of course not! I’m very glad the top student has joined us in class.”
“Yes, yes! We rarely get the chance to talk to the commander.”
Seeing Qiu Xinyu, Xie Feiyu felt she was a step behind, so she quickly placed her textbook in front of Bai Yuxi. “Commander, if you want to see the textbook, feel free to flip through mine.”
“You can look at mine too,” Qiu Xinyu added, exchanging a knowing glance with Xie Feiyu as she also handed her textbook over.
Ren Qingqiu couldn’t help but marvel at how she had missed the sycophantic nature of these two.
