While Liyue and Ruo once again focused on their chess game, Li Yao moved beside Han Li and sat to his left side. Yue Li was on the right, and before him was the duo of Liyue and Ruo in the middle of a witty battle.
Wei Yuanfen and Hua Feilan sat to the side, both exchanging glances. They were the ones with the most shallow relationship with Han Li, after all, and they knew it. Even though it was not awkward because they were all familiar with each other, both of them still subconsciously compared themselves to each other.
Taking inventory of everyone with a glance aimed at their eyes, Han Li brought all attention in the room to himself, except for the duo playing chess.
Han Li placed a hand on the chessboard, and Ruo and Liyue looked at him.
"None of you are people I don't trust. You are all people I rather enjoy being with. And no need to look around; that includes you too, Hua Feilan."
