Liu Muxue walked out of the school gate and saw Ming Jing and Xie Zhen waiting for her under a poplar tree. The setting sun cast a golden glow over their figures, making the scene appear soft and dreamlike.
Liu Muxue stared for a moment, then furrowed her eyebrows and muttered as she walked over.
Upon seeing her, Xie Zhen immediately asked, "Who was Mr. Liu talking to?"
By now, Xie Zhen had figured out how to get along with Liu Muxue: to coax and appease her, making her less intimidating.
Liu Muxue gave her a glance, "Do you think I have superhuman hearing? I couldn't hear from that far away."
Xie Zhen choked on her words, wanting to slap herself for her loose tongue.
Liu Muxue and Xie Zhen walked a few steps and suddenly realized that Ming Jing hadn't followed them. Turning back, they saw Ming Jing standing under the tree, gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought. Her usually relaxed eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
