"Cough cough." A light cough came through the microphone, reverberating throughout the venue.

The male teacher's voice rang out again, "You may begin."

Through the cool and clear blade, her beautiful eyes gazed at the figure opposite her, "It's yours that you lent me."

"It's not that I couldn't give it to you." Lu Ran smiled, "But this is my family heirloom, and if you take it, well..."

Lu Ran hesitated, there were too many people around, no need to say it here.
