It wasn't clear how long the entire area was silent for, but onstage, Lin Jiage finally continued, "... she's a person I don't want to have anything with."
Complete silence.
A silence that was even more absolute than the one before.
As if there wasn't a single person within this massive school hall.
—she's a person I don't want to have anything with.
—A confirmation through our gazes... she's a person I don't want to have anything with.
These words echoed in Shi Yao's ears for a moment before the meaning finally hit her. She abruptly lifted her shocked face to look at the stage ahead.
The young man dressed in the white shirt still looked as elegant and calm as always.
But the disposition he was emanating at this very moment felt a little cold and a little sharp, completely different from the lofty and imperturbable air he usually commanded.
