Chi Zaozao was drenched through and through, sitting on the riverbank's cobblestones, hesitating, clueless about how to return.
With her bedraggled appearance, she would surely be the laughing stock of the other students if she went back now.
So she decided to wait until her clothes dried before returning.
She hadn't expected that Ye Que would come looking for her, and seeing her sitting by the riverbank, he silently approached her from behind.
"Is it fun being here alone?" he said.
Chi Zaozao was startled, she turned her head sharply, and upon seeing it was Ye Que, she subconsciously turned her head away, not letting him see her bruised face.
"Yeah, it's fun here, the scenery is nice."
Ye Que immediately noticed her soaked clothes, squatted down, tugged at her clothes, and asked coldly, "What happened?"
Chi Zaozao avoided his gaze, speaking evasively, "Nothing's wrong!"
"I asked you what happened?" he asked coldly, in a tone that made evasion impossible.
