Luan's heart almost sank to the floor. He could more or less guess what the Head Administrator wanted to talk about and the desire to run away from this place overcame him, almost spurring him to move. He clenched his fists tightly, and the pain from where his nails dug into his palms helped him to remain clear-headed. No more running away Luan, he told himself. Alas, he still couldn't help but ask, "...Can I refuse?"
Dr. Feng gave him a tight-lipped smile. "If you can give me one valid reason, then you may."
Alright, that was just the same as not giving him any choice at all. Luan huffed a wry chuckle.
