After leaving Xu Lin's house, Lin Jiang drove to Jiaoda.
He also stopped to buy some desserts and drinks on the way.
Arriving at the library again, he found it was more crowded than he'd expected.
He went to Room 401. Peeking through the back door, he saw the two of them studying intently. They no longer had that desperate, do-or-die look from before.
Lin Jiang quietly slipped inside without attracting much attention.
Only a few girls looked up when he entered, their gazes lingering on him for a while until he sat down next to Xu Yingjun.
"So that's why you were using your books to save a seat. You were holding it for Brother Jiang."
Li Yueting looked at Xu Yingjun and said meaningfully,
"You're really laying on that 'sweet and innocent' act thick now."
"Well, Brother Jiang is here. He needs a place to sit."
"Say no more, I get it. You two can go to dinner later. I won't be a third wheel."
"Works for me. Let's go, just the two of us," Lin Jiang said to Xu Yingjun.
"Okay."
