บท 216: The Kiss that Echoed      

As the news of Seraphina declaring Xin as her boyfriend spread through the school like wildfire, the atmosphere in the corridors shifted. 

Whispers and hushed conversations followed Xin wherever he went. The students, previously oblivious to his existence, now stared at him in a mix of awe, curiosity, and envy.

Xin found himself at the center of attention, a spotlight he had never anticipated. 

The hallway, once bustling with students rushing to their classes, now seemed to move in slow motion. 

Every step he took was accompanied by intense gazes and clandestine discussions, as if he were a character in a drama series suddenly thrust into the limelight.

Maximillian, the leader of Seraphina's fan club, hadn't taken the news well. His previously confident demeanor had crumbled, and he was now confined to a hospital room, suffering from a severe mental breakdown.
