Chapter 5: NEW ROOMMATE.
Hua Rong was eating her lunch peacefully, enjoying the rare day off. She wasn't sure why they had one, but she wasn't about to complain. A quiet day was a blessing in Blackthorn Academy.
However, peace never lasted long here.
With a loud crash, a boy came flying onto her table, knocking over her lunch tray and nearly toppling her chair. It was the third fight in just two days. What was she expecting? This school was practically a war zone.
She sighed, getting up without much fuss.
"Hey, are you okay?" the boy who had crashed onto her table asked, his voice full of concern.
Hua Rong blinked at him. He was the one who got thrown, and he was asking if she was okay?
Still, she gave a small nod, offering a polite smile despite her ruined meal.
Before she could step away, a new voice interrupted.
"How can she be okay?"
A tall figure approached, hands stuffed lazily into his pockets, his expression utterly unconcerned. Xu Wenhan.
Hua Rong had heard of him—everyone had. He was one of the most well-known students in Blackthorn Academy, partly because of his status and partly because of his reckless behavior.
