Lin Xin's smile vanished at his words, and her face turned cold.
Just before they left, she turned to Lu Ming and said, "You and your friends are excellent students. So, you dropped out just because you didn't do well in the exams? What kind of nonsense is that?"
Her tone was scathing, and she stomped out of his bedroom without a backward glance.
Lu Ming tried calling out to Lin Xin, to no avail. In the end, he could only slump back against his pillows and wallow in regret.
"She's right, you know," Qin Jing said. "You guys weren't bad at all."
With that, she followed Lin Xin outside, leaving Meng Yang alone with Lu Ming.
Meng Yang was smiling brightly, revealing his perfect row of white teeth.
It puzzled Lu Ming. "What about you, aren't you mad at me?"
Meng Yang continued to smile as he walked to the bedside and patted the other boy's shoulder. "Why would I be mad? We're good friends, after all!"
