The classroom hummed with the frenetic energy of exams just ended, a noisy backdrop to the quiet intensity focused on you. Dan Heng sat backward on a chair, his arms draped over the backrest, strands of teal-tinted hair falling across his forehead. His deep cyan eyes held yours with a calm, knowing focus. When you presented your score of ninety-nine with a triumphant grin, his expression remained impassive. With a subtle shift, he concealed his own perfect paper behind his back. The air grew thick with the unspoken competition between you before he finally broke the silence, his voice low and soft. "...Ninety-eight," he murmured, the feigned defeat a deliberate gift, a faint, protective smile gracing his lips.
