    Xu Shuai was dying to get a detailed exnation from Xu Wei before she left to meet Xiao Chun, but because Gu Yu was fiercely protective of her, he never had the guts to stop her.


    Thus, he could only settle for the next best alternative and proposed, “In that case, I want to go to the police station with you as well.”


    “That way, I’ll be able to get a grasp of the full picture from Xu Wei right after she meets Xiao Chun,” he thought.


    This time, Xu Wei had no further objections and merely shrugged and agreed, “You coulde along if you wish. I have no objections.”


    ...


    When the trio arrived at the police station, Xu Wei put in a request to meet Xiao Chun. However, Xiao Chun refused and simply informed the police to pass on the message that there was nothing much for her to say to Xu Wei after doing such a thing to her.


    Xu Wei wasn’t surprised by the fact that Xiao Chun would decline the meeting. The more she refused, the more it goes to show that her conjectures could be right.


    She then asked the police officer to pass a message back to Xiao Chun, “Please help me to convey to her that I’ll wait by the entrance until she’s willing to meet me. Note that my injuries are quite severe and I’m actually advised to stay in bed to recuperate.”


    After a pause, she added, “Remember to emphasize to her about the severity of my injuries.”


    The police officer nodded and left.


    Xu Shuai couldn’t help but interrupt, “Xu Wei, will this work? Will Chunchun even care about the severity of your injuries?”


    However, Xu Wei couldn’t be bothered to exin to him and merely maintained herposure while she waited in silence.


    Gu Yu, too, sat down beside Xu Wei calmly without even sneaking a nce at Xu Shuai.


    Xu Shuai was so frustrated that he nearly broke down. “Fine. Are they looking down on me and unting about their mutual affection?” Xu Shuai thought.


    “Hah! I could pretend to keep my cool as well,” he decided.


    He then strode over, sat down beside Gu Yu and stared at the ground.


    An hourter, the police officer returned and notified, “Xiao Chun has agreed to meet you. Please follow me.”


    Xu Wei quickly stood up and thanked him.


    Xu Shuai stared at her silhouette as she followed after the officer and he couldn’t help but admire her. “Although I’m close with Chunchun, I don’t even know her as well as Xu Wei does...” he mused.


    “Perhaps women tend to understand each other better,” he concluded.


    ...


    Xiao Chun was already seated on a chair when Xu Wei entered the room. She had shaved off some pounds within just a few days. Her jawline had be sharper and her face had be leaner, which made her eyes seem especiallyrge.


    Her eyes used to be animated and always appeared as if they were smiling. But now, it was dull and lifeless as though they were coated with ayer of dust, making it impossible to read her emotions.


    Xu Wei strode over and pulled out the chair across from Xiao Chun before she sat down.


    For a moment, it waspletely silent in the room and only the sound of their breathing could be heard.


    Xiao Chun swept one fleeting nce at Xu Wei’s face and her eyes lingered on her pale lips for a second before she quickly turned away. “Say whatever that you want to say. If you have nothing better to say, then leave,” she spat out icily.


    Xu Wei wasn’t bothered by her cold attitude and merely ced her hands on the table between them before sping them together gently. A few secondster, she asked, “Chunchun, have you never thought of me as a friend?”


    “No.”


    Xiao Chun replied quickly without any hesitation. In fact, she did not even bat an eyelid and added on mockingly, “If you’re here to ask ridiculous questions like this, then spare yourself the effort. I’m a bad person. I’m just like those evil antagonists whom you see in novels and TV shows and I’ll do all kinds of terrible things. I befriended you for the sake of helping Yun Rou, so don’t think too highly of yourself.”


    “Really?”


    Xu Wei smiled when she heard what Xiao Chun said. “Since you’re Yun Rou’s ally, then she’s probably the one who instructed you to give me the bird’s nest donkey-hide gtin cake. The one that she tasked you to give to me it probablyced with poison but why aren’t the ones that I received from you poisoned?” she questioned.
