Su Shikuan had originally intended to reply that his brother was not there, knowing full well that the person Huang Yibei was looking for was Su Shi'an. However, before he could get the words out, a classmate nearby eagerly volunteered, "I’ll go inside and call your brother out for you." Before the words had even faded, the classmate scampered into the academy like a happy little bird to deliver the message.
"Hey, wait..." It was too late for Su Shikuan to stop him. He swallowed the words that had reached his lips and slumped his shoulders, hanging his head in dejection. Still, since Huang Yibei had graced them with his presence, he couldn't exactly stand there looking miserable. He forced a smile—one that looked even more painful than a frown.
Seeing his expression, Huang Yibei asked curiously, "What’s the matter? Are you not happy to see me?"
