Yuxi, Ren, and Zhen looked up from where they were joking around, their expressions shifting when they realized Qingran was calling them over.
They exchanged glances before jogging toward her, curiosity evident in their eyes.
"You heading out already?" Yuxi asked, rubbing the back of her neck. "Man, that sucks. I was hoping you'd stick around a little longer."
Zhen crossed his arms, nodding. "Yeah, it's rare to meet someone who can actually hold their own. Would've been nice to spar properly."
Ren remained silent, his sharp gaze studying her as if trying to memorize her face.
Qingran took in their reactions with mild amusement before shrugging. "Yeah, we've got stuff to take care of."
They clearly didn't like that answer, but none of them argued.
She saw this as an opportunity. "If you guys wanna keep in touch, add my QQ," she said, pulling out her phone. "I don't answer calls often, but I check my messages."
