The heavy doors of the lecture hall slid open, revealing the empty seat directly in front of Lu Chen. He looked up, his gaze colliding with you's with a quiet, piercing intensity that bridged years of agonizing silence. The air in the room suddenly grew thick, charged with the weight of a history that refused to stay buried. As the break began, he leaned closer, his voice a low, strained murmur that barely carried over the surrounding din: "You're back." In the flicker of his expression, the changes were evident—he was no longer the silent boy of old, but a man who moved with a loud, commanding presence and a crowd of admirers. Yet, the predatory hunger in his eyes as he looked at you remained unchanged, anchoring them both to a shared, volatile past.
