Shen Mianmian was still unaware that, imperceptibly, she had been calculated against.
She had taken Xiaocui to Lu Siyuan's home and afterwards went to school with him.
On the stretch of road nearing the school, there was a small bamboo grove. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt as if someone's gaze was locked on her from within the bamboo, making her whole body uncomfortable.
But when she looked inside for a while, she saw nothing.
Lu Siyuan had been chatting with Shen Mianmian, but seeing her suddenly go quiet, he couldn't help but feel a bit odd.
"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
"Ah?" Shen Mianmian came back to her senses, "What did you just say?"
Lu Siyuan bristled, "Shen Mianmian, do you have any manners? I'm dragging you to school like a cow, and you space out while I'm talking to you?"
Shen Mianmian: "..."
"It was not intentional, I just had this feeling that someone was watching us from that bamboo grove just now."
