"Is... is it something you can't tell me?"
"No, I'm just thinking about how to start."
Xu Xiangyang sighed and finally decided to tell the truth.
"Actually, it's about your studies."
"...Huh?"
"I signed you up for a study group this evening, I took the liberty of doing so. If you're willing, stay after school and check it out."
Although Xu Xiangyang himself thought this group would be helpful for her, studying still required personal initiative. If Lin Xingjie wasn't willing, it would have been a disservice.
"With Zhu Qingyue and me, plus other students and the teacher, we can better identify and address our weaknesses—"
"What, that's it?"
Lin Xingjie's sigh was even louder than Xu Xiangyang's, interrupting him mid-sentence.
"Didn't I say I would listen to you? Honestly, it's fine for you to arrange such small matters..." She paused as if she remembered something, "Ah, right, it's just that tonight might not be good."
"You have other plans?"
