She knew her words had worked, feeling relieved yet somewhat uncomfortable, but she had decided to proceed this way.
Leaving the cafeteria, hearing them discuss the performance, that feeling of forgetting something returned, though she couldn’t quite remember what.
Tao Yu looked at his good-tempered appearance and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “If he wants something so special, why doesn’t he find someone to arrange it himself instead of assigning the task to you?”
“He’s been busy lately, so there’s no other way. I’ll practice again tonight when I get back, and maybe it’ll work out,” Zhou Ying was relatively optimistic about this matter and didn’t think there was anything wrong with Lao Chang using him. Suddenly remembering something, he looked at Tao Yu and said, “By the way, Officer Tao, I heard you’re going to perform a program representing the prison guards. What’s your program?”
Tao Yu paused for a moment, slowly meeting Zhou Ying’s harmless and warm eyes, and said slowly, “I forgot.”
“…You forgot the content of your own program?” Zhou Ying was surprised.
Tao Yu stared at him for a while, and said dryly, “I forgot that I was supposed to perform a program.”
“…” Zhou Ying met her gaze and finally said sympathetically, “Officer Tao, I think you’re done for. Lao Chang can be quite harsh when he scolds people.”
Tao Yu immediately waved her hand, “Let’s not talk about this now. I have to go. Goodbye!” She then ran to her dormitory like a flying arrow.
Damn it, she had been so confused by various messy things lately that she actually forgot about this. She needed to go back and think carefully about how to deal with it tomorrow.
The distance between the dormitory and the cafeteria was not short. She ran towards the dormitory at first with good speed, but gradually slowed down. By the time she was near the dormitory entrance, she was walking while catching her breath.
The street lamps on both sides were dim, barely illuminating the path. The sound of waves hitting the rocks could be faintly heard, bringing a sense of calm. As Tao Yu’s heartbeat gradually settled, her anxiety also subsided. She walked slowly forward and felt a sudden drop in her heart when she saw a figure in prison clothes ahead.
