His gaze then focused on a corner of the cafeteria, where several standing boys blocked the view of the tables, making it impossible to see who was sitting inside.
Xia Lian stared blankly at the empty table. She had been sitting there for several minutes, and she didn't understand why, during which time boys kept coming over to ask her if they could sit and eat together.
