Evaluation Day (2)

After the awkward introduction, the three were finally seated, with Li Caiyi sitting beside Dai Shenqiang and Shao Jingfei sitting across from them. To be fair, Shao Jingfei was pretty carefree and laid-back, and only Dai Shenqiang was the nervous wreck.

"Don't be so tense. I'm in the same year as Caiyi, so no need to be so stiff with me." Shao Jingfei said lightly. "You haven't even touched the cake I made."

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Out of reflex, Dai Shenqiang spoke formally, making Shao Jingfei laugh again.

"When I heard from Caiyi, I didn't believe it at first, but you are very different from your brother."

"Y-you know my brother?" 

"Well, not personally, but he has been the unbeatable top-ranking student in our year for two consecutive years. It will be weird if I don't know him."

"Is that so? My brother is indeed amazing," Dai Shenqiang's tone eased up a lot at the mention of his brother.
