If Tang Haotian hadn't said that, it would have been fine. But as soon as he did, everyone assumed Xue Yang had simply fabricated a non-existent girlfriend to avoid being mocked.
"He really didn't need to do that," Tang Haotian said, finding a casual excuse to get him off the hook. "It's not a big deal if he didn't get the girl. We wouldn't laugh at him."
Others quickly chimed in. "Yeah, being devoted isn't a crime. It's the world's fault!" "I hope Xue Yang can get over it soon."
"Alright, let's drop the subject," Tang Haotian said. "Let's go sing. Hopefully, by next Valentine's Day, everyone will have found someone."
"Then we'll take you up on that good omen, Haotian."
Luckily, they weren't far, only about a ten-minute walk away. The large group set off for Emperor Hotel in high spirits.
「Meanwhile.」
