A few fallen leaves rustled on the ground, swirling in the wind as Wei Qingyu observed Ji Xiao approaching with a hint of surprise. "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing. Can't I walk home with you?" Ji Xiao replied, hands in pockets, with a carefree expression.

Wei Qingyu, though not accustomed to having company on her way home, didn't reject the idea of Ji Xiao joining her. However, a slight discomfort lingered.

"But I have a question, Wei Qingyu. Why don't you take the bus? Aren't you tired after all that exercise today?" Fang Yiming, curious and poking her neck out, scrutinized Wei Qingyu, who stood to Ji Xiao's right.

Wei Qingyu and Fang Yiming weren't particularly close. The only connection they had was through the incident with Liu Meina, where they, along with Qi Qi, formed a small group of four. After that event, their group fell silent, perhaps due to unspoken tensions within.

Despite this, Wei Qingyu shook her head and replied, "I'm not tired."

"Really? You're truly amazing!" Fang Yiming's expression was as animated as always. "Do you know that this morning, our entire class—and not just ours, but the entire school—looked absolutely dumbfounded!"

Fang Yiming's eyes sparkled like those of an enthusiastic fangirl. Wei Qingyu appeared a bit embarrassed, offering a modest nod, "I'm just doing my best."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiao, who rarely saw Wei Qingyu in such a state, smiled and chimed in, "Did you know, all the omegas participants behind you either got too tired and stepped down or had a few people carry them. I witnessed it myself."

"Yes, yes! I even took some pictures with QiQi," Fang Yiming added, pulling out her phone to send a few pictures. "Look at the expressions we caught after the race. It's hilarious!"

Hearing the laughter, Ji Xiao also took out her phone, glanced at the pictures sent by Fang Yiming, and burst into laughter. "You could really make an entire emoji pack out of these."

Standing next to Ji Xiao, Wei Qingyu suddenly felt a twinge of discomfort as she observed the two girls sharing laughter.

They had their own camaraderie, their own shared moments, leaving her feeling like an outsider.

"Look at this, it's hilarious!"

Suddenly, a playful tap reached Wei Qingyu's arm. Ji Xiao cast a sidelong glance at her, urging her to take a look at her phone.

Wei Qingyu hesitated for a moment, as if confronted with an unexpected realization.

Curious, Wei Qingyu tapped into the group, and a series of blurry pixelated images unfolded before her.

The expressions on the faces of those captured in the photos were utterly comical. Wei Qingyu scrolled through them, noticing a small detail.

Ji Xiao had forwarded the initial photo in their group, while the subsequent images were forwarded messages of Fang Yiming.

In other words, Fang Yiming had originally sent them to Ji Xiao's and likely QiQi's smaller group.

Then, Ji Xiao discreetly signaled Fang Yiming, and Fang Yiming promptly caught on.

The cool autumn breeze brushed across the girl's face, creating a subtle flutter in her eyes.

Was Ji Xiao taking her feelings into consideration?

Had she learned to be considerate of others?

As Wei Qingyu gazed at Ji Xiao standing before her, she felt as if an invisible door had been opened by her.
