December 20th.
The seven days Lu City had promised Shi Jingyi he would stop practicing were over.
As soon as he entered the practice room, Shi Jingyi immediately called him over. She was paying close attention to the matter.
"Lecturer, I haven't practiced at all for the past seven days," Lu City said. "Other than it feeling a bit strange, I haven't experienced any noticeable discomfort. This proves I'm not addicted to the spores, right?"
Shi Jingyi watched him for a few seconds. "Is that so?"
"Yes."
"...Go on to your seat."
"Alright."
Lu City turned and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What he didn't know was that as Shi Jingyi watched his retreating back, her eyes were filled with both disappointment and worry.
How could she possibly not see that he was lying?
It was just that...
Shi Jingyi sighed internally. She knew that even if she called him out on it, it would be useless, serving only to embarrass Lu City.
