Zhou Li quickened her pace and caught up with them.

Up ahead, Lu Yan and Mei Shu were skillfully teasing and joking with each other, suspecting that the other couldn’t hold on anymore. In reality, both of them were breathing steadily, not a drop of sweat to be seen.

Compared to the two of them, Zhou Li seemed to be gasping for breath.

She approached Lu Yan and playfully patted his shoulder, “Lu Yan, are you two making a bet? Count me in!”

Lu Yan’s smile, which he had only shown to Mei Shu earlier, disappeared completely. “We are walking fast. Can you keep up?”

Zhou Li steadied her breath and refused to show weakness, “I’m here, aren’t I? Lu Yan, just let me join you. I won’t slow you down! And, look, I can keep up, can’t I?”

Lu Yan furrowed his brow, “If you want to follow, then follow.”

His attitude toward Mei Shu and her was apparently different, but Zhou Li seemed oblivious, still wearing a sweet smile on her face, “Then you haven’t told me about the bet yet. What if I win? Does that mean 1 get to see Lu Yan accept a punishment?”

“We bet on singing. The loser has to sing at the mountaintop. Do you want to participate?” Mei Shu preemptively replied before Lu Yan had a chance to speak.

Lu Yan clearly wasn’t willing to tell her, but Mei Shu had already spoken, and he couldn’t directly show his displeasure.

Zhou Li cheerfully responded, “Sure, it’s a deal. By the way, I haven’t heard Lu Yan sing before. I’m sure to win later!”

Lu Yan kept a stern face, “I won’t lose.”

After speaking, he strode forward quickly, and of course, Mei Shu could easily keep up with his speed.

At first, Zhou Li had no problem, but as they continued, she started to feel her energy draining. She wanted to stop and rest, but she was afraid of being left behind by the two, so she gritted her teeth and tried to keep up with Lu Yan.

Behind them, many students noticed Zhou Li chatting and laughing with Lu Yan and believed her claim that she and Lu Yan were childhood friends.

Envy for Zhou Li grew among the students, and some of them had thoughts of getting closer to her.

On the other hand, Mei Mu looked listless all the way.

Since being exposed yesterday for her tricks in front of everyone, she suddenly became less talkative and walked alone at the back without any intention of speeding up.

Although she was getting farther and farther away from the classmates ahead, she didn’t rush to catch up with them. Instead, she just kept her head down, walking her own path.

Li Zhen had noticed Mei Mu’s change. His initial intention was to get closer to Mei Shu, but he couldn’t keep up with her pace, and he was afraid of embarrassing himself. As a result, he took the next best option and came to Mei Mu’s side, showing a concerned expression, “You seem a bit out of spirits today. Are you feeling unwell?”

Mei Mu didn’t expect Li Zhen to talk to her again. She immediately shook her head, surprised and delighted. “No, I’m just a bit tired. You don’t have to worry about me; go have fun with your classmates.”

With her pale complexion and delicate physique, Mei Mu had an aura of a sick beauty, which made Li Zhen’s heart move a bit, and he came closer to her.

“If you’re tired, don’t force yourself. Let me help you to the nearby pavilion for a rest.”

Mei Mu nodded slowly, allowing him to support her and sit her down on the side. However, she kept gazing at the distant scenery of clouds and mist below the mountain.

Li Zhen liked the delicate charm Mei Mu exuded, and he became gentler, “I think 1 saw your mother come to school yesterday. What was it about?”

Upon mentioning this, Mei Mu’s face turned even paler. She stammered, “N-nothing. Just the grade director wanted to ask about my college plans and what school my family wants me to apply to.”

“You have good grades, and teachers naturally care about you.” Li Zhen chatted with her somewhat absentmindedly, as he glanced at Mei Mu’s delicate profile. For some reason, Mei Shu’s slightly heroic face kept appearing in his mind.

If these two sisters could both be with him at the same time, that would be great!

If he had to choose between the two, it would be a big dilemma!

In the distance, Jiang He and Jiang Hai stood on both sides of a man, overlooking the line of people coming toward them from the mountaintop.

“Master Si, the students from No.i High School are all coming this way. You don’t like crowds. Why not go to the nearby estate to rest?”

Lu Si stood still, watching the group of people at a distance. He quickly spotted a familiar figure at the front, and a meaningful smile slowly formed at the corner of his lips. “Bring her over later, but don’t let Lu Yan find out.”

“Yes,” Jiang He nodded.

On the other side.

Mei Shu and Lu Yan reached the mountaintop simultaneously without any clear winner. However, their conditions were completely different.

Lu Yan was already breathing heavily from exhaustion, while Mei Shu still seemed at ease. Not only did the other students notice Mei Shu’s exceptional physical strength, even the principal’s gaze couldn’t help but be drawn to her.

“In the future, students in our school should pay attention to physical training like Mei Shu even during their studies!”
