"Do you see the way he acts? Isn't it like he's never even touched a girl's hand before?"
"I bet he's definitely never been in a relationship."
"You guys are just jealous because he's both studious and handsome, aren't you? If he really wanted to date someone, what's it to you, Ma Qi?"
A girl, unable to endure the boys' conversation, started to defend Yu Yang.
Fearing that her side was too weak in numbers and would be ridiculed by the group of men, she purposefully pulled Ma Qi along to bolster her own courage.
After all, several of the outspoken men were among Ma Qi's admirers. Even if Ma Qi didn't speak up for her, out of respect for Ma Qi, they wouldn't go too far.
"Mm."
Ma Qi, holding a wine glass, still didn't shift her gaze, watching Yu Yang being pulled to one side and being plied with drinks.
The boys were quite annoyed to see their goddess paying attention to the new klutz.
