Everyone admired and some even showed their respect to Lory's words, but Zhao Li Xin felt different. He felt pain, an excruciating suffocating pain. He closed his eyes to calm himself. He wondered if the words Lory said were meant for both Ming Yue Yin and herself. He could see pride, determination, and sorrow sparkling within her eyes.

Zhao Li Xin took a seat next to her and softly whispered in her ear, "What are you thinking about?"
His hot breath tickled her. She giggled and moved her ear away from him, "Nothing…"
