After a long period of silence, Lin Jiage spoke once more, "… It's someone I don't want to interact with."
Silence.
It was even more silent than before.
It was so quiet that it felt as if there wasn't a single soul in the massive auditorium.
"… It's someone I don't want to interact with."
"… It's someone I don't want to interact with."
These words echoed in Shi Yao's ears for quite a while before she finally understood the meaning behind those words. Then, she raised her head in astonishment to look at the stage before her.
The white-robed young man was still as elegant and composed as ever.
However, the aura he was emanating at this moment was cold and sharp, completely different from his usual carefree and aloof demeanor.
He was still as beautiful as ever, but there seemed to be a blade of ice hidden within his beauty, making one feel an inexplicable pressure.
The surroundings were still as silent as ever. Shi Yao could clearly see that everyone present had the same expression on their faces, as if they had rehearsed it in advance — shock, astonishment, and disbelief.
No one knew how long it had been in such a heart-palpitating silence. Finally, some of the students came back to their senses one after another.
"The heck, did I hear wrongly? Did Lin Jiage say that he's someone I don't want to interact with? "
"What does he mean by that? Don't want to interact with him? Does he mean that he has no relationship with Qin Yiran at all? "
"Then why would such rumors appear on the forum, and there's even a picture of it. Just like now, if Lin Jiage doesn't want to interact with Belle Qin, why would he stand on the same stage as her …"
As more and more people began to discuss the matter in hushed voices, Qin Yiran, who seemed to have had her acupoints sealed, finally came back to her senses.
The smile that had frozen on her face due to Lin Jiage's words gradually vanished, and tears began to well up in the depths of her eyes.
As if she had heard something inconceivable, she slowly turned her head to look at Lin Jiage.
Seeing Qin Yiran's reaction, the awkward emcee felt even more awkward. In order to ease the atmosphere, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Student Lin, you must be joking with us …"
This time, before the emcee could finish his words, Lin Jiage had already interjected, "Jokes are the lubricant between friends, and I don't even know her that well, so how could I possibly joke around with her?"
The host had wanted to ease the tension and give Qin Yiran a way out, but he didn't expect Lin Jiage to be so merciless. For a moment, he didn't know what to say anymore.
Recovering from her daze, Qin Yiran's mind worked swiftly.
Just a moment ago, she had been feeling smug, thinking that she had won the bet. So that was not the case at all. The reason why he was standing on the stage was purely to clear his name. It had nothing to do with her.
Even a fool would be able to understand what he meant when he replied to the host.
He was telling the whole school that they weren't even friends, let alone the rumors on the forum that they were a couple.
