Once again, Jidenna sat in the lecture hall waiting for class to begin. But unlike before, when he sat alone, this time Song Jia sat close to him, chattering away beside his ear.
He had come to learn a very important skill since becoming close with Song Jia:
"Blocking Distractions."
That lifesaving skill enabled him to keep his mind focused, partially blocking out disturbances, especially when those disturbances were the meaningless type.
And he was so thankful for it.
They were back in anatomy class, the last class of the day.
Students trickled in as usual until the class was full.

Someone had entered the hall.
Swaggering in with a group of people behind him—it was Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan took his seat among the empty first row, which had been purposely vacated for him.
