Lu Xinnuan’s expression was rather stiff, she was annoyed that Lu Mian came looking for her.

She did not want the people to know that she had such a disgraceful sister, nor did she want Lu Mian’s halo to overshadow hers.

The two of them had tacitly agreed to pretend to not know each other, but what else could Lu Mian be doing other than looking for her at their class?

She was rather down as she stuffed her books into her bag quietly. Her frustration grew as she heard her classmates’ warm reaction to her sister.

“Who are you looking for? We’ll go get them.”

“Junior, do you want to borrow my notes? My grades are not bad…”

More annoyingly, class was already dismissed, but the students were not leaving.

She glumly zipped her bag up and picked it up and headed straight for the last row of the classroom.

Everyone’s gaze landed on her and started a commotion.

“Oh, our goddess is here for our Young Master Su!”

“When are the wedding bells ringing?”

Su Jue knitted his brows together. “Don’t speak nonsense.”

Lu Xinnuan nodded in agreement. “I’m here for other things.”

As she spoke, she deliberately looked towards the blackboard at the back of the classroom and patted the shoulders of a few classmates. “You will have to decorate the blackboard today. Parents are coming tomorrow, and it’s not nice to leave the blackboard empty.” She gave the instructions patiently.

The few students nodded. After all, this was the goddess star student of their class, and her name carried some weight.

Among these students, a timid girl with short hair bit down on her pale lips and nodded gently.

Lu Xinnuan then called Su Jue to leave the classroom together.

Lu Mian was waiting outside the whole time.

She was leaning against the corridor walls, and she rested one arm on the railings while the other arm gamed. Her slender, long legs were curled casually, and she made the baggy uniform look like high fashion.

She looked up lazily from time to time, her gaze on the classroom scattered and distant.

She only put her phone away lazily and headed towards Lu Xinnuan and Su Jue when they exited the classroom.

The corners of Lu Xinnuan’s lips twitched. Lu Mian really was here for her.

But to save herself from the embarrassment, Lu Xinnuan decided to speak first. “Can I help you?”

Lu Mian could not be bothered with her sister’s pretentiousness. She curled her lips into a wry smile, disregarding Lu Xinnuan.

She raised her head and said plainly as she pointed at Su Jue, “I’m looking for him, not you.”

The words were as sarcastic as it could be. Lu Xinnuan felt embarrassed, and she did not know what to do.

Thankfully everyone did not know their relationship, so they did not know the hidden meaning behind the words.

But Su Jue paused confusedly.

“Your grandpa couldn’t get in touch with you. He said he’s bringing you to the opening banquet of some company, and he’ll pick you up at the usual spot,” she said expressionlessly.

After that, she walked right past the two of them and left in the opposite direction.

As she walked by the window of class one again, she glanced at the class nonchalantly, her eyes filled with a warmth and gentleness that was hard to detect.

Lu Xinnuan watched Lu Mian walk away. She looked up at Su Jue, who was still in a daze, and tugged on the corner of his shirt gently.

“Su Jue?” She asked in feigned calmness, since she could not disgrace herself in front of him, “What company banquet are you attending?”

“I heard grandpa mention it once. I think it’s some tech company that works with AI.”

“Grandpa Su is so nice to you… I wonder when I’ll have the chance to see Grandpa Su again…”

“We’ll see,” Su Jue replied dismissively before he walked away briskly.
