The bell rang, signaling the start of the last class of the morning. It was Teacher Wu's class again.
Back in the office, Xi Zirong remained silent.
Teacher Wu's smile slowly faded. He glanced at Xu Su. "You can go back to the classroom first."
Xu Su wasn't sure what she was thinking, but she couldn't help but turn to look at Xi Zirong before she left.
Her eyes landed on the tips of his ears, which were bright red.
'...' Xu Su was speechless.
The moment she returned to the classroom, more than fifty pairs of eyes swiveled in her direction, all of them looking like a crowd hungry for gossip.
As the creator of said "gossip," Xu Su walked back to her seat in extreme embarrassment.
She had just sat down when Chen Huiyu, her deskmate, whispered, "The class president isn't back yet?"
Xu Su shook her head and replied, "He's still in Teacher Wu's office."
