"I apologize to you," began Lu Youxi, sitting up straight and taking a deep sigh, "last time I wasn't truthful. I simply wanted to keep a low profile.

"After all, you're only a freshman!" Xiang Shihong spoke again, his tone suggesting that if Zhou Xueyi continued to blame her, it would be improper on his part.
