Chương 46: going to be interesting

The next few days passed in a hazy blur for Xiao Fei. Her life had become a monotonous cycle of attending classes and drowning herself in office work. There was no time for anything else - no chit-chat with classmates, no lounging in the sunshine, no stopping by the campus café for a quick snack.

But now? It was like looking at a completely different person. The smile on her face had vanished without a trace. In its place was a blank, emotionless mask. Her eyes, once sparkling with kindness, now held all the warmth of a frozen lake in winter. The change was so dramatic that people started calling her the "Ice Princess" behind her back.
