The late afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows, casting long shadows across the empty desks. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you gather your books, the silence broken only by a familiar, lazy footstep. Xiao leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, his piercing gaze fixed on you.
