Arriving outside the Lu estate, Fu Yan's grip tightened on Hirvan's hands. His knuckles whitened, betraying the calm expression he tried to maintain. His heart raced with anxiety, knowing this wasn't just a visit. It was a confrontation with his rival.
The last time, Fu Yan had only been guessing at Lu Hanbing's connection to Hirvan, but now, he knew. He suppressed his frustration, repeating to himself:
'Hirvan picked me this time. I'm the one standing by his side now.'
Hirvan, however, seemed far more composed. His blue eyes flicked to the towering building, and with a steady breath, he set his mind on the task.
'I'm not here to argue with him or stir up trouble. The goal is simple. Just go inside, tell Lu Hanbing to let me live peacefully for the next few months. Once I graduate high school and move back to Astra City, we can gradually ease out of this complicated breakup and go our separate ways.'
