The crisis was averted, but only temporarily.
It was the night of the fifteenth, and the hours stretched long; silence once again engulfed the area outside the school building's main entrance.
Everyone was on full alert, vigilantly surveying their surroundings.
"I'm sorry."
The girl's voice came unexpectedly.
Lu Ran turned his head and saw Bai Manni with her head slightly bowed, softly apologizing, "I shouldn't have said those things."
Lu Ran smiled, "It's okay, you were just being kind, not wanting us to run into trouble."
Bai Manni lifted her eyes to Lu Ran, surprise flickering in them, as if she was seeing a classmate in a new light.
Undeniably, Bai Manni had always viewed squad number 98 through a biased lens.
From the moment at noon when Lu Ran and the others were carefree on the swings, Bai Manni found fault with them.
In her view, Jiang Ruyi and Lu Ran were the undisputed Heaven's Chosen.
