Chen Ajia wasn’t very into gossip. Although a little curious, she didn’t ask much and walked aside with Su Weiyi’s hand in hers.

Su Weiyi couldn’t help but glance again at where Sheng Yanxiao had stood, of course, it was empty.

Her long eyelashes drooped slightly. He was there, probably just accompanying Si Nian, right?

Si Nian was pursuing a girl in the senior year, which Su Weiyi knew. She often saw Sheng Yanxiao accompanying Si Nian to see that girl.

Gathering her thoughts, Su Weiyi didn’t dwell on it. Her urgent task now was to adjust her mindset and face the afternoon exam well. The morning subjects were her strength, but the afternoon ones were her weakness.

"Xiao Yi, tomorrow after the exam, there’s a class gathering. The teacher said no one should be absent; let’s go together."

"Class gathering?"

Chen Ajia spoke indistinctly while eating, making Su Weiyi frown. Why didn’t she know about it?

"Yeah, it’s mentioned in the class group."

Chen Ajia found the WeChat group message and showed it to Su Weiyi. That’s when she remembered, oh right, they have a group chat, but she had muted it long ago and never checked it. In fact, she rarely used WeChat at all.

Su Weiyi didn’t like these activities and rarely participated in any class activities previously.

Seemingly aware of this trait, right after the exam ended the next day, Su Weiyi received a call from her homeroom teacher as soon as she stepped out of the school gate, reminding her specifically about the evening gathering.

Outside the campus, the place was already bustling with noise. Su Weiyi hung up the homeroom teacher’s call and immediately called Tang Yanqi, fearing that they might plan something for her. She couldn’t miss the evening gathering, but didn’t want to let her family down either.

The post-exam excitement seemed to have become a tradition.

In fact, the college entrance exam was just a checkpoint in life, not the endpoint, but it seemed every student would feel an unprecedented relief after this day ended.

Upon receiving Su Weiyi’s call, Tang Yanqi was naturally happy to hear she would be dining with her classmates. Because Su Weiyi was so quiet by nature, they hoped she would socialize more with her classmates.

After hanging up Su Weiyi’s call, Tang Yanqi turned and said to Sheng Jiayu, "No need to eat out tonight. Xiao Yi said she has an event and won’t be home for dinner. Once the scores are out, we can celebrate for her."

Sheng Yanxiao was sitting on the sofa holding a phone, unsure what he was doing. Upon hearing Miss Tang’s words, the boy’s pretty eyes lifted, a flash of something unusual quickly passing through his eyes. Then his long fingers twirled, tucking the phone into his pants pocket as he stood up.

"Yanxiao, where are you going?"

"Si Nian’s looking for me, I’m heading out."

There was no shortage of rich kids at the S University Affiliated Middle School, and today’s gathering was arranged at a high-end club owned by one of the classmates’ families.

By the time Su Weiyi and Chen Ajia arrived, most of the class was already there. Over fifty people were divided into six tables. Su Weiyi was just about to find a random seat when someone called out to her, "Su Weiyi, over here."

Looking up, it was the sports committee member, a guy she wasn’t familiar with. Each table had both boys and girls, so Su Weiyi didn’t think much and pulled Chen Ajia along.

"This seat was saved just for you two."

"Thank you."

These kinds of gatherings typically involved eating, chatting, singing, and partying.

After several rounds of drinks, the homeroom teacher stood up.
