Chapter 288: My Treat

She was exhausted from having to wring her brain for every answer that she had to give, and while she was sure that she did more than fine with her exams, that didn’t mean that she didn’t have a hard time with it.
"Time to get some sleep," she smiled to herself as she turned to walk the nearest road. "Won’t be the first time I turned in early for once."
With her mind made up, she prepared herself for an early night without even so much as having dinner to calm her stomach. No, she was more than fine with just sleeping tonight, and nothing was going to-

"Oh? Heading home already?" he chuckled, his fan covering his mouth as he taunted her. "I didn’t think that a few exams would be able to bring you this low."
"Low? What are you even talking about?" she scoffed back. "I just want to go home and sleep."
"Sleeping this early in the night? The sun hasn’t even fully set yet," he teased. "Have you even eaten dinner yet?"
