The young girl recognized the owner of the voice and thus kept on walking.
"Yin!" Yang finally reached her side and gave a bright smile.
"What do you think?"
"Come on, tell me."
"Have I become more knowledgeable?"
"Because I am quite I sure I have."
"Of course maybe not comparable to you, but still better than before, right?"
"Come on, don't ignore me."
"Yin!"
"Tell me."
"Did I impress you?"
Yin stopped abruptly, which almost caused Yang to knock into her. He stabilized himself and crooked his head sideways.
"What impress me is your ability to chat unceasingly without break." She gave him a hard stare, which caused his smile to wither.
"Oh." He was somewhat dejected.
"Sorry about that, hehe." Yang scratched his scalp and attempted to smile again to ease the situation, but anyone witnessing could tell that it was forced.
Yin closely observed the young man in front of him and felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing his unhappy state. Maybe her words came out a bit too crude?
"But I admit that you have improved since last time. Good work."
Immediately, she noticed Yang was brought back to life again, as if her words were the long awaited rain after months of drought in the desert.
"Really?!" Yang felt as he was dreaming. Did his crush really compliment him?
Yin was momentarily stunned by the strong reaction of his. Was there a need to get this overexcited because of her comment?
Maybe she underestimated his feelings for her. This could be useful if utilized in the right way. However, why did this realization cause her heart to beat a tiny bit faster?
Yin nodded, which caused his genuine smile to widen.
"Thanks!"
"By the way, what electives did you choose? I choose art of Go, art of guqin and study of war strategies." Yang inquired after a while.
"Study of war strategies, study of medicines and study of magic formations." Yin replied, as she glanced shortly at him.
She could apprehend why he would choose to study war strategies, since he was the future Clan master of the Fire Clan. The Fire Clan was one of the Major Clans, thus a part of the Celestial Realm's main forces against potential foreign invasion. However, why did he choose Go and guqin?
"Oh, we have one elective in common. That's nice. We can stay together in an additional course." Yang said happily.
"Together?" Yin couldn't help but ask. It almost sounded as if he meant that they were a couple or something. Didn't she already reject him?
"Yeah, together. Even if we won't necessarily be seated near each other, we can be together in the same class." Yang grinned and then quickly added as he got an idea.
Yin saw his sincere and hopeful gaze at her, which caused her pulse to increase. Thus even though she knew better, she agreed.
