The atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive for a while.
Zhu Fei glanced at Ji Xuanyue's expression, but for a moment he didn't know how to start speaking, or rather, in this sort of situation, he simply didn't know how to comfort Ji Xuanyue.
Eventually, it was Ji Xuanyue who broke the silence first, smiling at Zhu Fei and saying,
"Alright, most of what I told you earlier were things of the past. I haven't thanked you yet for just now."
Zhu Fei was slightly startled, but he quickly realized Ji Xuanyue was probably referring to how he had stood up for her in front of Li Chengtian and the others.
He casually shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It was nothing. Didn't you help me before? This time, standing up for you was only natural."
"Oh, is that so?"
Ji Xuanyue's beautiful eyes twinkled like the bright stars of a radiant night sky, gazing steadily and unblinkingly at Zhu Fei.
