Shen You’an, with her humble origins and crude manners, probably didn’t even register on his radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiangge’s lips quirked into a small smirk as she raised a hand to tuck her hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shen You’an got home, Luo Wan was surprised to see her return at this hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The physics competition is the day after tomorrow.
