As she held her thesis manuscript and wrestled with her nerves, she eventually couldn't resist standing up and telling Yang Su and Lan Qiqi sitting beside her, "I'm going out for some fresh air. I'll be back in a bit!"
Yang Su also stood up, "I'll go with you!"
"No need! Sit down, I'll be right back," she said, getting up from her seat.
As she was heading out, she saw Bai Yuchuan, Zhang Mu, and Yan Chenqing.
Seeing her about to leave, Bai Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, "Are you running away now?"
"Do I look like someone who would run away?"
Nanxi glared at Bai Yuchuan, unconvinced. She then looked at Yan Chenqing standing behind him and mentioned, "Han Baobao didn't come but Lanlan and Susu have saved seats for you guys…"
Yan Chenqing tugged at the corner of his mouth, and didn't say anything.
