Mashauva paused when a familiar voice traveled into her ears.

She thought her ears must be playing tricks on her. Otherwise, why would she hear Bruno's voice at this moment?

The silent surroundings confirmed her thoughts as she stood still, and she gave out a silent, bitter chuckle.

It was indeed an illusion.

With that, she strode forward, back to school.

The sound of footsteps came from behind her, and before she knew it, a slender figure stood in front of her, blocking her path. Surprised, she looked up, and a handsome profile took up her entire field of vision

Bruno?

Was it really him?

Disoriented, Mashauva couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream.

Was she hallucinating? What was Bruno doing there?

"You've been avoiding me for so long. Now that I'm right in front of you, are you this unwilling to

see me?"

He sounded tired as there was a hint of hoarseness in his voice. Breathing heavily, he moved closer to her.

With that, Mashauva took a reflexive step back. "Bruno..."

Bruno drew a deep breath, his gaze at her, somewhat helpless as he said, "So you still remember who I am. Then why do you keep refusing to see me? It's been half a month, Masahuva." She naturally couldn't tell him the reason. But now that he was right in front of her, she'd have to say something.

But what should she say? Mashauva hadn't a clue; she was never good at sugarcoating.

After much hesitation, she could only manage a stupid excuse.
