"Did I take too long?" Li Xueyue nervously asked as she stepped into the room.
"No, I'm the last person," Li Chenyang commented from behind her.
Li Xueyue was startled by his unexpected arrival as she swiveled around to see him standing right beside the door she had just stepped into. When did he get here?
"Don't just stand there," Li Chenyang said. "Sit down, Xueyue."
Li Xueyue nodded as she joined everyone at the table. She felt her appetite shrivel and die. It was to her luck that Minghua sat directly across from her. Their eyes met and simultaneously, they averted their gaze and glared at the floor.
