After the excitement, Zhang Shengnan didn't forget to greet Huo Shen.
"Hello, Mr. Huo," she said.
Huo Shen nodded.
Zhang Shengnan quickly came back to her senses, pulled Lin Anning aside a few steps, and lowered her voice.
"Huh, how come you came with Mr. Huo?"
Lin Anning embarrassedly glanced at Huo Shen and solemnly introduced him.
"Well, Sister Shengnan, Huo... Mr. Huo, is my boyfriend, um, as of now!"
"What?"
Zhang Shengnan was totally dumbfounded, looking back and forth between Huo Shen and Lin Anning—no matter how she looked, the two seemed mismatched.
"You, you, you guys, since when..."
Lin Anning patted her back, helping her catch her breath.
"It was after I got rescued by him last time, I was straightforward about it, and then, we got together."
"He's shy, so I'm just telling you, don't go spreading it around school."
"Oh, okay, got it."
Zhang Shengnan nodded vigorously, and upon further thought, she realized the whole thing wasn't that sudden.
