Can you please give her chance and forgive herβ¦" Gui Suyao tried to salvage her dignity with trepidation, He Zhichu merely glanced at her quietly, his icy eyes like the moon on a winter's night--brilliant yet chilly. Gui Suyao couldn't help shivering and looked away quickly because she didn't dare meet his eyes.
Brother Huang saw Gu Nianzhi's tiny face scrunched up like she was about to cry but was trying her best to hold it in. He couldn't stand it anymore and began to defend her, "Professor He, Little Gui has a certain point. Nianzhi didn't do it on purpose, this is her first time. Can you forgive her?" Brother Duan and Brother Wei also chimed in for Gu Nianzhi.
