"So, love can disappear, right?"
Taneya Chihaya looked at Yi Lin,
her face brimming with a smile.
"Yes."
Yi Lin's eyes slightly squinted as he responded without hesitation.
The next second.
Yi Lin's gaze turned cold, and his hand darted out toward Taneya Chihaya, grabbing her by the neck with one hand before she could transform into Ling Yiyi's appearance, lifting the frail girl into the air.
"Giggles—"
As Yi Lin tightened his fingers, Taneya Chihaya's slender neck was grasped firmly, her entire face turning purplish-red, suspended midair, her limbs flailing in a struggle.
Her parents, the moment Yi Lin firmly gripped Taneya Chihaya's neck, stopped all movements. Note that this truly meant "all," including breathing and heartbeats, the two parents, as if time had frozen for them, remained fixed in place, unmoving.
Even on the dining table, the curry soup that was steaming hot a moment ago had its steam frozen midair, gathered yet not dispersing, eerily surreal.
