Holding Qi Chao's hand, Chi Yu reappeared before Xie Zi, Jin Yao, and Song Cheng.
The three simultaneously sensed an indefinable change between them.
In the past, Qi Chao always stood behind Chi Yu, like a guardian deity, or perhaps, a shadow.
Back then, he was a model bodyguard—vigilant, alert to every movement around his charge, almost mechanical.
But now, his gaze clung to Chi Yu, unwilling to part for even a moment.
Jin Yao scowled, glaring at Qi Chao. He felt an impulse to pluck out Qi Chao's eyes and scrub them clean in water before putting them back.
Chi Yu left no room for speculation or hesitation, announcing decisively, "Qi Chao is my boyfriend."
"Clang!"
Jin Yao's glass shattered to the floor, splintering instantly.
He pointed incredulously at Qi Chao. "Him? What kind of status does he have? Have you lost your senses?"
