Capítulo 134: The Quiet Protector

The late afternoon sunlight filtered through the windows of the Jiang villa's study room, casting warm, golden rays on the table covered with textbooks and papers. Feng Ruoxi sat in her usual place, flipping through pages of a physics textbook with ease, her brow slightly furrowed—not because she found the material difficult, but because she was carefully reviewing concepts to explain to her best friend, Xia Xingxing, who was sprawled on the couch nearby, groaning in frustration.

Feng Ruoxi had always been naturally brilliant, quick to grasp even the most complex ideas. Studying for her college entrance exams wasn't a daunting task for her, but her focus lately had shifted. Xia Xingxing had been struggling with her studies, and Feng Ruoxi had made it her mission to help her best friend prepare. These sessions had become less about her own preparation and more about supporting Xia Xingxing through the stress.
