The man's sudden honesty left her momentarily stunned.

The music grew increasingly grating, and in her world, it seemed as though this man before her was all that remained.

At his words, she became slightly rebellious and turned her head to glance at the band working to hype up the crowd. She commented, "...They're quite handsome."

Fu Jingchen: "You like that type?"

"...I don't." She initially planned to lie but, at the last moment, the words came out truthfully.
