Long Yifan stopped in his tracks and turned around slowly.
"I… I'm just walking her out," he said with a smile.
Principal Lan raised an eyebrow. "No need. You're not going to the training camp, are you?"
Long Yifan gave a little cough. "Principal Lan, it's important for me to walk her out!"
Then, without waiting for Principal Lan's scolding, he slipped away.
Principal Lan could only sigh and watch as Gu Jin and Long Yifan left.
Gu Jin didn't say anything as Long Yifan caught up to her outside the building. She just kept walking toward the bus.
Long Yifan jogged a little to stay beside her.
"Hey, don't be so cold," he said with a grin. "It's not like I'm a stranger."
Gu Jin gave him a side glance. "Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"
"I'm not following. I'm escorting," he said proudly, puffing out his chest like a silly knight.
Gu Jin rolled her eyes but didn't say more.
