Ying flipped her notebook open and was about to ask some questions when she noticed the peculiar reaction of the two people before her. They were staring at her with eyes as wide as copper bells and mouth shaped in a round 'O', clearly stunned and astonished.
This look… did not seem like they were meeting for the first time.
Eyes narrowing, she assessed Gu Luoxin from head to toe before focusing on his face. "Student Gu Luoxin… Xinxin?" A belated realization dawned on her. Although she posed the question, there was nary a doubt on her expression.
And Gu Luoxin's response just confirmed it. "...Ying-jie," he hiccuped out of shock, still looking utterly miserable with his tear-stained and haggard face.
"And you are…" Next, Ying's gaze shifted toward Shen Nianzu, who stepped forward and offered a hand,
"Nice to… finally meet you, Officer. I am Nian, Shen Nianzu."
