"Exchange student?"
Ju Zi seemed to half-understand. She felt like there had been something like that, yet she had no real impression of it.
"Good heavens, big sis, can you stop acting like our teacher—single-mindedly devoted to research and completely oblivious to everything else?"
Ke Ke raised a hand to her forehead and could not help sighing.
She had noticed that over the past two years, Ke Ke had become more and more like their teacher, Xuan Ziwen.
