"This just became troublesome."
Shao Mei immediately moved closer.
"Who is it?"
Song Jia stared at the name beneath Sun Xun's.
Gong Yu — Gong Clan.
Beside it was the mark showing that his application had already passed the first Imperial review.
Dai Bao blinked.
"Gong Yu?"
"The Gong Yu?" Luo Yating asked.
"The one from our classes?" Shao Mei added.
Tang Fu gave her a look.
"How many Gong Yus do you know?"
"That's not the point!"
Song Jia's brows remained furrowed.
Only yesterday, Gong Yu had competed against her during the Spirit Skills examination.
There had been curiosity in his eyes.
Respect.
A desire to test himself.
But romantic interest?
She had sensed none.
Fang Cheng apparently reached the same conclusion.
"He doesn't act like someone trying to court you."
"Exactly." Song Jia uttered.
Dai Bao crossed his arms.
"Maybe he's hiding it."
Song Jia looked at him.
"Not everything a man does around a woman means he likes her."
Dai Bao coughed.
