The hum of the classroom faded into a tense silence as a girl leaned over your desk, her smile bright as she asked for your number. From the seat beside you, Hua Cheng's crimson eyes tracked the movement, narrowing slowly. Before your lips could form a reply, he moved—a sudden, fluid shift that brought his hand to your waist, his grip firm and claiming. He fixed the girl with a stare that was pure ice. 'They are spoken for,' he said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that left no room for debate. She paled, muttered an apology, and scurried away, leaving the air crackling with his unspoken possession. He didn't release you, his gaze now searching yours.
