Gu Pei returned to Class One of Year Two for the monthly exam and discovered that Xu Niannian's grades had plummeted, resulting in her being demoted to Class Three.
Ever since the revelation that the Whale Fall autograph in Xu Niannian's possession was a counterfeit, she hadn't bothered Gu Pei for quite some time.
Subsequently, Gu Pei learned from his childhood friend, Feng Duxing, that Xu Niannian was now romantically involved with Sun Daoming, a troublemaker within their social circle.
Expressing his indignation on Gu Pei's behalf, Feng Duxing remarked, "It's ironic how you initially introduced Xu Niannian into our circle and introduced her to Sun Daoming."
"I never expected her to betray you."
Gu Pei, engrossed in watching a game video, shrugged off the comment. "Betrayal? I ended things with her long ago. I've moved on. My passion lies solely in eSports now. Xu Niannian can do as she pleases."
