The next day, I wasn't able to overcome my curiosity and ended up checking on Zhao Yan and Ji Yan's classroom. As she had promised, Teacher Ai called Ji Yan out for a meeting in the guidance counselor room. Obviously I had no way of sneaking in, but when Ji Yan exited, I saw that she looked extremely gloomy.
Yup, Teacher Ai was definitely doing her job.
"What are you doing?"
I jumped when I heard a familiar voice behind me. Turning around, I caught sight of Nan Gong Zhao Yan, who frowned in disapproval.
"Eavesdropping is rude."
"You say that, but you're here too," I pointed out slyly. Zhao Yan blushed slightly and avoided her gaze, folding her arms in a defensive manner.
"I'm…I'm just concerned about my sister! Isn't it only natural?"
"Yeah, well…why are you concerned about her? What happened?"
At my question, Zhao Yan hesitated, and I decided to probe a bit further.
