Shen Jun had to suppress his laughter, his lips forming a tight line. Wen Nian gazed at him, perplexed. “Don’t you find it incredibly noisy?”

Shen Jun brandished the book he held and proclaimed proudly, “I’m not like everyone else. 1 can read in the bustling market. Don’t be bothered. 1 have a solution to shield you from it.”

Wen Nian appeared skeptical. Shen Jun exited the classroom, grinning as he did.

Shortly after, Li Fang entered the room. The commotion in the classroom drew her disapproving frown. She thumped the podium twice, the sound successfully capturing everyone’s attention.

Only then did Li Fang announce loudly, “The third-year students are quite stressed about their studies. Many of them are even studying between classes. Please engage in quiet conversations. If you’re not part of this class, kindly return to your own. Your voices are significantly disrupting others’ concentration.”

Inside their hearts, the girls around Wei Xiao muttered curses, but they dared not retort to the teacher. They turned and exited Class One. It was then that everyone noticed Shen Jun affixing sheets of paper to the front and back doors – papers that Li Fang had printed out in the office.

Wen Nian craned her neck for a glimpse. Written on them were the words “Restricted access for students from other classes.” She offered Shen Jun a thumbs-up as he returned to his seat.

“Only Shen Jun could do something like this without any concerns of offending people.”

“I think it’s because he disrupted Wen Nian’s studies. Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother. In any case, my ears are finally at peace.”

“Shen Jun really did a good deed this time. It’s been a whole day of disturbance. Occasional disruptions are fine, but someone barges in during every class. It’s unbearable!”

Wei Xiao was a little displeased when he heard the soft complaints.

In his previous school, these were all things that he was used to. He did find them annoying, but it did not mean that others could overstep their boundaries and handle them for him.

However, this person was Shen Jun. He couldn’t teach him a lesson in private.

Compared to the special treatment he received in Hai City’s private schools, Wei Xiao was a little frustrated at the public No. 1 High School.

However, Wei Xiao quickly reined in his emotions, put on a smile, and turned to thank Shen Jun. “Young Master Shen, thank you for what you did just now. I’m new here. Rejecting people directly can lead to misunderstandings. I was still trying to figure out how to address it.”

Shen Jun’s brow slightly furrowed. “There’s only Shen Jun in No. 1 High School.”

Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment before he immediately reacted. “Understood.”

Shen Jun cast a sidelong glance at Wei Xiao and slowly stated, “Young Master Wei’s indecisive nature isn’t suited for succeeding the Wei Corporation.”

Offending someone was the least of Shen Jun’s concerns. After all, there weren’t many people capable of intimidating him, especially not Wen Nian’s ex-fiance!

Wei Xiao had done his homework; he knew about Shen Jun’s temperament. Still, being reprimanded this way stung his pride a bit. Nonetheless, maintaining a composed demeanor was a must for those in power.

Wei Xiao still had the same smile as before and replied humbly, “Compared to Young Master Shen, I do have a lot to learn.”

Shen Jun focused his attention on the book and didn’t say anything else.

Seeing this, Wei Xiao looked at Wen Nian and said, “Wen Nian, I’m sorry for disturbing your studies just now.”

Initially, Wen Nian planned to ignore him. However, keeping her plans in mind, she forced a smile at Wei Xiao and responded softly, “It’s alright. It’s resolved now.”

As Shen Jun turned the page, he paused momentarily. He caught a glimpse of Wen Nian’s actions from the corner of his eye and felt a pang of frustration. He forcefully flipped the page, producing a ripping sound.

Wei Xiao didn’t notice Shen Jun’s small actions. Seeing that Wen Nian seemed to still have feelings for him, he was secretly happy. He took the opportunity to suggest, “Let me treat you both to a meal as an apology for the trouble 1 caused today. Wen Nian, you know I treat you like a sister. It’s been over a year and a half since we last met. Let’s seize this chance to reunite.”

Wen Nian opened his mouth to answer.

Under the table, Shen Jun’s hand stealthily found its way to Wen Nian’s thigh, concealed by the desk’s cover. Wen Nian couldn’t help but emit a soft exclamation.

Wei Xiao immediately asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Wen Nian glanced sideways and saw Shen Jun’s expressionless face as he focused on reading. He cursed the jealous Shen Jun in his heart.

Wen Nian looked at Wei Xiao again and laughed dryly. “It’s nothing. I suddenly thought of something.”

Wei Xiao nodded, alternating his attention between the ignored Shen Jun and the distracted Wen Nian. “So, what do you say about tonight’s gathering?”

In that moment, Wen Nian’s focus was entirely on the big hand subtly maneuvering on her leg. Even with her winter casual pants, she could still feel the strength of that touch through the fabric.

A strange numbness washed over her lower body, disrupting her thoughts about Shen Jun. Unaware of Wei Xiao’s question, she became entangled in her own sensations..
