Xi Meng stared at the photos for a second. If this had been yesterday… her hands would have shaken.
Her mind would have collapsed. She might have even believed him.
But now, she let out a soft laugh. Lin Qinsheng's smile stiffened.
"…What are you laughing at?"
Xi Meng looked up at him, her eyes cold and steady.
"You really think this will save you?"
Lin Qinsheng narrowed his eyes.
"These are enough," he said confidently. "Ambiguous is all I need. Once I say you seduced me, people will doubt you. That's enough to destroy you."
Xi Meng tilted her head slightly.
"Then… why don't you look outside?"
"…What?"
For the first time, something felt wrong.
A faint uneasiness crept into Lin Qinsheng's chest.
He turned... toward the classroom door, which he was sure he had locked earlier, and it was slightly open.
A thin line of light slipped in from the hallway, and multiple shadows seemed to peek inside.
