Everyone turned their eyes toward Zhao Li Xin, curiosity flickering in their gazes as they wondered what important matter he wished to share. Without a word, they quietly returned to their seats, a sense of anticipation settling over the room like a gentle fog.
"What is it?" Lory asked, her voice soft but laced with curiosity.
