Awkwardness hung in the air.
Li Wei quietly examined the figure in front of him, his gaze akin to studying a statue, silently brushing past the person and stepping out of the elevator.
Statue: …Something feels…just a little off.
"Wait, wait!"
The statue called out to Li Wei.
"That's it?"
Li Wei turned back to look at him, full of confusion.
Statue: "I meticulously prepared a welcome ceremony, and that's your reaction?"
