.Zhan Yu didn't bother mind his encounter with Lu Bai that day since right after returning, his first priority was to quickly find the person in charge of the dancing and singing competition. He needed to forfeit as soon as possible.

Apparently, the Student Council was in charge of holding this contest. President Ji Yi was a third-year university student who coincidentally studied in the same field as Lu Bai.

Upon hearing Zhan Yu's desire to forfeit, President Ji Yi's face wrinkled in confusion. "Brother Zhan, everything's been going well up to now. Why do you want to forfeit?"

Zhan Yu looked back at his perplexed eyes and gave a vague answer: "I've been busy these days so there's no time for me to participate."

Ji Yi didn't plan to let him off just yet. "I still remember when you boldly stated that you were going to claim first prize."

"Haha," Zhan Yu smiled, not wanting to explain any further. "Anyways, I don't want to join this contest anymore. I'm here to talk to the one in charge of this competition. Even if you don't agree, I have no choice." Then, just as he was about to walk away, he heard Ji Yi comment: "Turns out Brother Zhan's isn't the kind of person who keeps his promises."

Zhan Yu kept silent as he thought to himself privately: 'No matter, it's not like I was the one who promised.'

When Ji Yi saw no reaction from him, he had to use Lu Bai's name. "Are you afraid that you would embarrass yourself in front of Senior Lu if you encounter him during the competition?"

"It's none of your business."

Ji Yi was even more interested in the topic. "Isn't it true that you love Senior Lu so much that you would hover between life and death for him? Why would you give up after just one year of chasing him?"

Zhan Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes as he thought to himself: 'In more than a year, even a cold stone should've warmed up under the sun.'

(T/N: Lu Bai's heart is still stone cold even after a year of pursuit...nothing's changed)

He replied lazily, "It's because I've already stopped by the edge of the abyss, and now I've turned around and made my way back to the shore. Didn't you say that I loved him so much that I even hovered between life and death? I've already died once. If I still don't change my mind, wouldn't it be no different from seeking death one more time?"

Ji Yi was choked by his words. He didn't know how to retort. Although he had many chances to speak to Zhan Yu, he had never heard that he was a person with a sharp tongue!

Ji Yi squinted and observed him for a while before continuing, "Even if you change yourself for Senior Lu's sake, he still won't pay attention to you. Senior Sister Chu was such a perfect school girl, but she only received bits of Senior Lu's appreciation. She never even got to earn the official title as his girlfriend. But looking at your sincere face that shows no desire, it shows that you know when to withdraw when facing difficulty. If you happen to win Senior Lu's heart, I'll admire you sincerely."

Zhan Yu's lips twitched in annoyance as he replied, "Thanks for the reminder.

'The heck! It's the first time that we've met and yet you're acting as if you know my mind! We obviously had no interaction before!'

Ji Yi appeared several times in the novel, but after the supporting female character left the campus, this man won't have any roles left, right?

Zhan Yu looked down on shameless people like him.

He clearly said he wanted to forfeit, and yet this man was so bored that he went after him at the library and at his dorm, just so he could convince him again and again to join the competition.
