So, not explaining, acting aloof, being slippery and evasive, or confronting them head-on are all tantamount to digging my own grave. It would only take a minute for Chen Yanfei to drag Ding Xiang into a united front and leave me utterly defeated.

"Our classmates are all gathering on the commercial street to join the fun."
