The Spicy Girl made faces beside her, and Shi Nian nodded shyly, "Um, yes. It was actually an accident too."
Everyone found their seats and sat down. Mark also walked to his seat, which was the second seat on the left. As Shi Nian arrived later, she patiently stood aside, waiting for the seat to be vacated.
Everyone sat down, tacitly leaving one seat open.
It was the one closest to the podium on the left, right next to Mark, precisely to Mark's left.
Once everyone was seated, they all raised their eyes, silently observing Shi Nian's reaction. Queen S, having been the one to reveal the secret, did not look over and instead lowered her head to whisper something to Zhong Kui.
Shi Nian took a deep breath, hugged her backpack, and walked over, then quietly sat down.
Seeing her so calm, the other 19 people resumed their activities, softly chatting or preparing their notebooks.
Mark asked softly, "Nian, are you okay?"
