A man stood by the window at th end of the corridor. His back was stooped and he looked rather impoverished and despondent.
Gu Mengmeng remained unmoving for a long time. She did not approach the man or leave. She just stood there as if the entire world had come to a standstill.
Her blood had froze and her hands were frightfully chilly.
Snakel frowned. "What's the matter? Are you ill?"
Gu Mengmeng's teeth chattered non-stop. Her pupils wavered as she bit down tightly on her lips. She continued to stare at that man in silence.
The dean exchanged a few words with that man before leaving. The man walked towards Gu Mengmeng and glanced at Snakel, who was still holding her hand. He smiled. "Mengmeng, aren't you going to introduce us?"
"No need." Gu Mengmeng's voice was trembling. It was unclear whether the trembling was from fear or hate.
