I asked her why later on.
She said vaguely,
"Because only Tang Xian allows me to follow him. I can't get close to anyone else."
I thought to myself, so be it. Even if there was a burden following me, a complete idiot, it wasn't something extraordinary. It was just two annoying fellows together.
So I let her follow.
Indeed, in everyone's eyes, Yan Xiaoling liked me, but she was like the blood of a mosquito on the wall. Even though I loathed her, I couldn't wipe her away, so I just let her be.
No one would say anything.
Only Ke Shang Lu and his friends knew that the riot between the second and first years was caused by me standing up for Yan Xiaoling.
So in the second year, Yan Xiaoling becoming my sidekick gradually became something everyone got used to.
The number of people bullying Yan Xiaoling also lessened a lot.
Yan Xiaoling, however, did not change her style. She still smiled only at me.
