Bella Woods could feel Oliver Hughes's slightly parted lips getting closer to her.

Almost in an instant, Bella Woods abruptly lifted her head and pushed Oliver Hughes away.

Oliver Hughes hadn't anticipated Bella Woods pushing him; he staggered back several steps, and the large bouquet of roses in his hand fell to the ground, scattering everywhere.

Oliver Hughes struggled to stand firm, staring at Bella Woods in shock.

The crowd that had been jeering instantly fell silent, and the scene carried an indescribable awkwardness.

Bella Woods abruptly stood up and turned to run away.

Oliver Hughes stayed where he was, finally kicking the table over: "What are you looking at!"

The surrounding people didn't dare to watch any longer and quickly dispersed.

Oliver Hughes angrily tugged at his clothes, gritting his teeth: "Bella Woods, you're something else!"
