Being study buddies is great! She probably would have done okay with her homework on her own, even the more magic stuff, but having an extra brain around is helpful. And she'd like to think she's helping Wei Wuxian too?

The Shanghai reading room is pretty quiet at the moment. (It... probably says something that she feels less awkward in the Shanghai reading room than the Chang'an one, but Shanghai and Chang'an are allies, so she can justify it.)

...There is an advantage to it being fairly quiet at the moment. There have been conversations she has overheard that make no sense, and Wei Wuxian seems like the best person to ask? Or at least, the least likely to judge her for not knowing and the most likely to answer honesty. "Do you mind if I ask you something... awkward?"
