TL - Chapter 40: Wu Yu 06 (4)

Did all of Tan Jiao’s friends have overly expressive faces? Within seconds, a myriad of expressions flashed across Zhuang Yu’s face. Ultimately, an expression containing a sliver of strange and secret delight appeared as she sneaked a peek at us. “Sorry for the interrupting.”
