No one answered.
She continued anyway. "Dirt. Zombies. Wasted fuel. Cardboard beds. And people who think they are better liars than they actually are."
Ma Shun's face paled.
Bai Ruolan hurriedly said, "Miss Li Yue, I think he's just scared. We all are. The world has changed too suddenly. It is natural for people to be cautious."
Tang Li Yue looked at her, her words evident in her expression.
Bai Ruolan lowered her eyes.
What a very good angle. Pitiful but not too pitiful. Respectful but not weak. She even shifted slightly toward Lu Chengran's direction while speaking, as if her words were meant for him as much as they were meant for Tang Li Yue.
Tang Li Yue almost wanted to applaud her then poison her tea.
Only lightly.
Lu Chengran did not even glance at Bai Ruolan. His eyes remained on Ma Shun.
"Last chance," he said.
Ma Shun's throat bobbed.
Liang Wei muttered, "Just tell them."
Ma Shun glared at him.
Tang Li Yue's gaze brightened with terrible interest.
