Nothing significant happened after Li Bai Yuan became from grudgingly accepting Chen Yi to becoming a fan of Chen Yi. Li Luxian came back sometime later. Wang Hualing glanced at him from time to time but never dared to approach him. Her resentment had only one outlet, Chen Yi; she would frequently glare at her.
Chen Yi ignored her.
When they were leaving, Chen rubbed her arms to chase away the chills. With the weather changing, her nose had been tingling these past few days. A moment of neglect and someone grabbed onto her wrist and dragged her away.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yi asked once Li Quang finally stopped walking. None of the departing guests took this route to leave so whatever Li Quang had to say, no one would interrupt.
Li Quang looked at both his sides to double-check. Easing his shoulders, he settled his eyes on Chen Yi and asked solemnly. "Chen Yi, I can not play this game with you anymore. Tell me honestly."
