As Chen Zin and Jin Wei left, the terrace grew quieter, and Long Xue, who had been sitting beside Zhang Yuan, began to feel an unsettling sensation building deep within her.
It was as though something was crawling under her skin, an uncontrollable sensation that made her limbs tremble.
Her hands gripped the edges of her seat tightly, her knuckles turning white.
'W-What... what's happening to me?' she thought frantically, her vision blurring momentarily before sharpening again.
"Huff.." Her chest heaved, and she felt a lump rising in her throat, constricting her breathing.
She gasped, clutching her chest, feeling her heartbeat pounding violently as though it was trying to burst through her ribcage.
"Urghh...!" Long Xue let out a low groan, trying to fight back the strange, overwhelming urge that was seizing her entire being.
