The rest of the banquet passed by without a hitch for Leo and Su Yang, who kept chuckling from time to time at nothing in particular.
The duo garnered a lot of side-eyed gazes from the crowd, who would often talk in hushed tones behind their backs, however, neither Leo nor Su Yang let that affect themselves.
Already accustomed to the back-talk in school, the duo felt right at home in the banquet, which they completed without any incidents, before returning back to the villa.
