Let's talk about structure because this author clearly knows how to pace a scene. The banquet sequence is basically a pressure valve being released in stages: Stage one: Gu Wanrou's accusation. Everyone believes her. Gu An'an is about to be expelled. Maximum tension. Stage two: The surveillance reveal. The audience gasps. Gu Wanrou's mask cracks. Tension releases—briefly. Stage three: Gu Wanrou's tears and Gu Jiayan's immediate forgiveness. Tension comes RIGHT BACK. The reader is like 'are you kidding me?' Stage four: Gu Wencheng watching the full video and the family's quiet acknowledgment that they wronged Gu An'an. Partial resolution. Stage five: Gu Wanrou's fake apology and Gu An'an's chillingly calm 'I forgive you.' The door closes. Gu Jiayan is left confused. And THEN the system notification drops for the NEXT conflict. That last beat is genius pacing. Just when you think the chapter is wrapping up—just when Gu An'an has 'won' this round—the author immediately plants the seed of the next battle. The system voice cuts through the quiet moment like a alarm clock: 'Twelve hours later, Gu Wanrou will collude with Zhao Xi to frame the host for stealing class funds.' It's a cliffhanger disguised as a reward screen. The scene transitions are also tight. No filler. Every paragraph either advances the confrontation, reveals character, or sets up the next conflict. The only slight drag is the high-society guests' dialogue in the middle, but even that serves a purpose—it externalizes what everyone is thinking so the reader doesn't have to guess.
Life without her was difficult to adapt to because she was the only friend I had. It's not that I'm a sadist. I do have talk mates in school and some at my mom's studio (she's was an artist) but I don't have them close enough to call them friends. Even morning I wake up to her imaginary banging and voice at my door. I spent the first few days with tears in my room. While with my father, I try putting up my best 'I'm alright' show because I know he's in grieve too.
"I haven't finished," explained Harry. "I am just waiting for my food to go down."
"Why Uncle?" then his father replied
At least she found out this family dirty laundry and also Yunshen's feelings toward her.. fufufufu
"He wanted to know if I already used my powers?"
"What do you care?" he had attempted to then swat him away with one dust-covered hand. Dirt and grim was captured beneath his short nails. "Leave me alone."

"Of course, this is all real bud. I told you I am part of you now. I usually remain dormant and just listen to your hilarious thoughts" Xennor said.
