Standing in the forest, with trees and miasma as the backdrop, Wu Yan and Alice silently exchanged a glance before quickly looking away, making the atmosphere increasingly awkward.
Alice in particular, as a textbook victim, looked at the man standing before her, awkwardly scratching his cheek. They had known each other for less than ten days, yet he had stolen her first kiss. Her eyes were extraordinarily complicated.
If she could, Alice truly did not want to see Wu Yan again.

"Well..." Wu Yan seemed utterly at a loss
