Luo Xiaolei averted her gaze away from him and looked to her left and right side. When she saw no one was beside her, she was forced to look at the devil prince again and to her surprise, he was still looking at her.
No matter how she looked at it, the devil was obviously staring at her and more than ten seconds had already passed.
Wh-what's going on? He's not really looking at me, right? There's just no way! Devil, did you mistake me for a ghost and got curious? Please don't mind me and continue walking away!
Just as Luo Xiaolei spoke to herself, the man started moving towards her general direction and Xiaolei's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes slowly widened at every ice cold step the devil took.
Luo Xiaolei started to panic. His eyes never left her as he moved closer and the world seemed to turn in slow motion. She silently prayed that the man wasn't coming over to her and that this was just her imagination.
However, as he got closer, her heart sank and she felt as though he was the grim reaper slowly walking towards her so he could finally claim her life. That moment, as the distance between them shrank, Luo Xiaolei felt like her life was now suddenly at the edge of something she didn't know. She just felt like once this devil reached her, her life would never be the same again.
No... devil, don't come over... !
Time seemed to have slowed down. Luo Xiaolei wasn't sure why but her heart was beating so damn wildly. She looked at his dark unfathomable eyes and she felt like she was being sucked by a certain strong force of gravity coming from it, causing her to be unable to look away.
Luo Xiaolei didn't understand why she suddenly ended up in this strange situation. She was just quietly leaning on the wall, a bystander whom no one even threw a glance at, so why did this devil end up walking towards her? Why?
In no time, the devil had reached her. He stopped a meter away in front of her without averting his gaze, causing Luo Xiaolei to hold her breath. She didn't realize this when he was far from her but now that he was this close, Luo Xiaolei could now feel the tremendously intimidating aura coming from him. He was just like a mighty beast in the jungle that could make anyone tremble in fear just by looking at him. His eyes were cold, like ancient black crystals.
Luo Xiaolei's eyes blinked and she looked at him with both a confused and curious look in her eyes. He was indeed oozing with coldness and danger as the rumour said but strangely, Luo Xiaolei didn't feel that much fear as she thought she would. Yes, he was as intimidating as the devil but he didn't seem to be that scary. Was it because she couldn't see any expression on his face? Or did she really became so fearless now that no one could scare her anymore?
When the man didn't say a single word and just stood there simply gazing at her, Luo Xiaolei couldn't help but compare him to a jungle beast trying to see if the prey before him was edible or just a trap in disguise. And somehow, this funny thought made Luo Xiaolei's nerves relax and she was able to finally find her voice. She was able to break free from this devil's seemingly hypnotic force that had her rooted on the ground looking at him. However, when she realized that all of the attention she was trying so hard to evade were now all pointed at her, she began to feel somewhat anxious.
Out of panic, Luo Xiaolei suddenly reached out her hand which was holding a bouquet of flower.
"Uhm... you want this flower? You came for this, right? Okay, here, I'm giving it to you." She said with a super fast speed. She did this because she didn't know what else she could do at this situation but to the viewers, it looked like she intended to give those flowers to him, causing everyone in the hall to gasp in disbelief. Almost everyone had the words'OMG! A dark horse has appeared!?' flash across their eyes.
But that was not the end of the surprise.
The crowd was stunned when this Yu Chen raised his hand to receive the flowers from a woman.
But as soon as Yu Chen took the flower, before pink bubbles could begin to envelop them in the eyes of the bystanders, like a skilled and fast ninja, the girl suddenly dashed away as if she was suddenly running for her life, leaving everyone stunned again as they watched her disappear from the hall in a matter of seconds.
W-what? She ran away? What the hell? Is she acting like Cinderella now? Leaving a flower instead of her shoe?
