Not long after Shen Xi returned to the dormitory, Jiang Xue and Su Xi returned.
When they saw Shen Xi, whom they had not seen the whole morning, Jiang Xue taunted, "Xixi, where have you been? You didn't return last night or show up for lessons this morning. You must have been very... busy. Did you tire yourself out? It's busy work, soliciting favours all night."
As soon as Su Ni heard Jiang Xue hurling jabs at Shen Xi, she excused herself by saying she needed to use the washroom.
Su Ni's current policy was to take the long route whenever it involved Shen Xi, more so when Jiang Xue threw herself into the mix. It was best to distance herself from that particular battlefield.
Jiang Xue sneered with contempt as Su Ni fled.
