Hearing this voice, Wu Zhiyuan paused, then looked to the side in surprise.
There stood Chi Gui, not far away.
She was dressed in a white T-shirt so simple it was almost plain, with jeans, and her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, accentuating her fair skin and delicate features. Especially her almond-shaped eyes—so dark and bright—with long lashes casting faint shadows beneath them.
She looked both obedient and quiet, even her furrowed brow seemed endearingly tight to Academician Wu.
At once, Academician Wu moved a step towards Chi Gui, then remembering people were still by his side, he stopped.
He maintained his aloof facial expression and nodded slightly, "In that case, there's no need for me to intervene."
With Chi Gui there, indeed, there was no need for him.
However, to Su Haikang and Xia Yong, among others, it sounded like Academician Wu had been rebuffed and was displeased.
