Chenxing made an apologetic gesture, scratching at the wispy hair on her forehead.
Among the guests, Luo Xi looked at her cousin's happy and honest smiling face, smiled as well, and then, slowly made her exit. With Gu Shaocheng by her cousin's side for life, there were no more worries, as for herself...
The team leader's voice came through the earpiece: "Luo Xi, fall in!"
She pursed her lips and turned around silently.
"Where are you going?" Yan Fengchi blocked her path, his eyes intensely fixed on her.
Luo Xi kept silent, her lips pressed tight. It took a while before she finally said two words: "Leaving." Then she added, "I'm on a mission."
Yan Fengchi seemed to be holding back something with great effort. The two of them stared at each other for a moment. When the team leader urged her again through the earpiece, Luo Xi had no choice but to brush past him. Yet, as she brushed by, he grabbed her hand.
His grip was so strong, it nearly crushed her wrist.
