Dead silence surrounds them.
Zhou Qiyue seems to completely ignore the fans around him, his hands tightly holding the girl in his arms. His chest feels as if it's been jammed with cotton, making it hard for him to breathe.
His heart is beating fiercely, pounding against his ribcage as if it might jump out if he opens his mouth.
After a long while, he lets out a soft breath.
He says, "I missed you deeply."
"…"
Silence.
Unsettling, hair-raising quietness.
The fans know him better than anyone. Despite his flirtatious appearance, he is in fact haughty and aloof. Over the years he's been in showbiz, he's had no scandalous affairs, earning him the title of being immune to the opposite sex. The Zhou Qiyue they knew…
Just said something so shocking!
Is this …an official announcement?
Jiang Ruan was forced to stop adjusting her earpiece, feeling numerous intense gazes upon her. This situation seemed unlikely to blow over easily.
