A day at school was as chaotic as expected yet somehow calmer than imagined.
After all, gossip is just that, gossip – you talk about it, you forget it.
Yuanya didn't want to say much, and those who did want to dig into the details were few and far between.
However, the next time Yuanya saw Li Jia, she felt a pang of guilt.
She knew very well that Lu Jie was dead, killed by Lan Xiu.
Yet, here she was, desperately trying to win over Lan Xiu and feeling like she couldn't face Li Jia.
As for Li Jia, she could barely muster the energy to look at Yuanya.
She would glance at Yuanya, hesitate for a moment, then look away.
She looked as if all her spirits had been drained away, giving her an overall lifeless appearance.
Yuanya forced herself to avert her gaze from Li Jia.
After surviving the last lesson of the day, she grabbed her things and left the classroom, not daring to linger for even a moment.
