Chapter 51: Little Maid, What Do You Plan to Exchange?

The moment the dismissal bell rang, Jiang Yubai had barely stuffed his workbook into his backpack when he felt a penetrating gaze fixed squarely on him.

He turned his head to see that Lin Jianxia had already packed her things at some point and was staring at him unblinkingly.

This silent urging made Jiang Yubai's mouth twitch. He finished packing in a few quick movements, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and sighed in resignation. "Alright, alright, let's go."

After school, a tide of students surged out of the school gates. Jiang Yubai and Lin Jianxia blended into the crowd side by side, moving forward with the flow. Quite a few students knew Lin Jianxia, but for many, it was their first time seeing her walking alongside a boy. The glances cast their way quietly multiplied along the route, laced with curiosity and scrutiny.

Lin Jianxia was already accustomed to such stares. Her face remained expressionless as she walked quietly beside Jiang Yubai.
