"Xixia, you're absolutely amazing—truly the pride of our group, our one and only Xixia! Do you know? Among the girls who competed with you, there's one from our design school who's a top-notch scholar! In the past four years, she's never scored below first in any exam! But just now, we overheard her on the phone after she came out. You know what she said? She said she's never met someone as fierce as you and admitted she lost fair and square, totally convinced by your skills!"
Yu Tingting and Xingyan's voices overflowed with excitement, even trembling slightly. The two of them laughed loudly, basking in the early summer sunlight, unabashedly reveling in their joy and pride.
"Really?" Shang Xixia's beautiful brows fluttered with subtle movement, her curiosity piqued by something she hadn't noticed herself.
"Of course!" Yu Tingting affirmed enthusiastically, but just as she was about to keep talking, she noticed Gu Jingchen standing behind Shang Xixia.
