The dimly lit stairwell was illuminated by bright yellow lights, reflecting the surprise in Wei Qingyu's eyes.

She glanced sideways at the arm holding her, wondering if Ji Xiao had done it intentionally. Her waist was only gripped by her wrist, and her green fingers remained concealed, not touching her.

The thin school uniform shirt conveyed the girl's temperature, and the scent of peach wine lingered on her shoulders.

A faint "thud" resonated within Wei Qingyu.

"You can stand on your own so I can let go," Ji Xiao reminded.

Wei Qingyu calmly redirected her gaze and softly replied, "Thank you."

"The best way to thank me is by walking properly on your own, don't always inconvenience others," Ji Xiao stated, slipping her hand into a pocket and walking away without looking back.

Watching Ji Xiao ascend the stairs, a different emotion flickered in Wei Qingyu's turquoise eyes for the first time.

After a moment, she followed suit and ascended the staircase railing.

Ji Xiao secretly sighed in relief upon hearing the gentle footsteps behind her.

The hand that had been clutching the pocket lining finally relaxed.

Though some people seem composed as they leave, the sweat on their back pockets tells a different story.

Concerned that Wei Qingyu might be influenced by Ji Qingyun's pheromones, Ji Xiao found an excuse and left the table.

Fortunately, she arrived in time; otherwise, Ji Qingyun might have had an excuse to take Wei Qingyu in the name of a hospital visit.

With this in her thoughts, Ji Xiao entered her room and sat down at her desk.

However, when she contemplated the idea of sharing a room with Wei Qingyu as she had suggested, Ji Xiao's enthusiasm waned.

Even after spending so much time together, Ji Xiao still felt apprehensive about the heroine who would eventually become her killer.

Casually picking up a paper from her schoolbag, Ji Xiao absentmindedly drew circles on it and, with determination, knocked on Wei Qingyu's door.

Soft footsteps approached and abruptly stopped. Sunlight poured into the hallway as Wei Qingyu opened her door, her posture composed and her demeanor seemingly unaffected by Ji Qingyun's pheromones.

"Please come in," Wei Qingyu said, stepping aside to allow Ji Xiao entry.

Feeling a sense of relief, Ji Xiao entered the room.

As she settled into a chair, Ji Xiao propped up her legs for added comfort and announced, "Take a look first, and then I'll play around for a bit."

With that, she placed the paper in front of Wei Qingyu.

Wei Qingyu's brow furrowed slightly at Ji Xiao's impolite gesture, but the annoyance quickly dissipated.

The paper Ji Xiao presented was a math test. Wei Qingyu was skilled in math, and she had already completed the test. She skimmed through the questions, formulating solutions in her mind.

However, when Wei Qingyu reached the second question, her turquoise eyes froze, fixating on the final question for an extended moment.

Unaware of Wei Qingyu's reaction, Ji Xiao focused on Wei Qingyu's room.

If the original owner's room, adorned with various animation posters and filled with an array of dolls, epitomized a stereotypical rich second-generation dwelling, then Wei Qingyu's room was a quintessential example of a well-organized, elegant space.
