Across the dining table, their eyes met.
Gu Xi frowned slightly. She found Ye Junhan a strange man. He clearly had a cold and reserved personality, yet the aura he projected was overwhelming—sharp and biting, just like the Xidao at his waist.
—Though its edge was often hidden quietly in its sheath, its chilling presence was impossible to ignore.
It was a strange sort of contradiction.
But Gu Xi wasn't one to pry into other people's secrets.
"So, Mr. Ye, you came here today to...?" she asked.
Ye Junhan stared at her for a moment, then abruptly stood up.
As they passed each other, he paused and said suddenly, "The Thunder Ability User Union is on the 25th floor."
He paused, then added in a low voice, "They have walnut crisps there."
'The 25th floor? Walnut crisps?'
Gu Xi froze. When she looked up, she saw his retreating figure striding out of the dining hall.
She lowered her gaze. 'What is Ye Junhan trying to tell me?'
She sat for a while longer before getting up to leave.
