“Don’t worry!” Li Xun quickly said, then looked around to ensure no one was listening before lowering his voice, “Thin Monkey’s matter was his fault. I won’t betray you. As for your relationship with Yue Linze… I understand, haha.”
Li Xun forced a laugh, but under Tao Yu’s scrutinizing gaze, he could no longer maintain it and said awkwardly, “I won’t say anything, you can rest assured.”
Tao Yu sighed in relief and nodded seriously: “Thank you.”
“Why thank me? I didn’t do anything,” Li Xun said casually, then thought and asked, “By the way, the performance at the sixth district’s welcome party was different from before. Was Yue Linze intentionally trying to lose to us?”
Tao Yu was stunned, her mood suddenly becoming complex.
Seeing her reaction, Li Xun couldn’t help but curse: “No wonder this son of a bitch wasn’t worried about losing. He was looking for a chance to have some alone time with you. I can’t believe I fell for your act and prepared the performance so seriously.”
“We weren’t together at the time,” Tao Yu said, amused.
Li Xun waved impatiently: “Fine. He’s in solitary confinement now, no one will disturb you. Are you happy? I’m just a kid who got played by you two.”
Tao Yu was shocked: “He’s in solitary confinement?”
Li Xun was surprised: “What else? He lost, and you weren’t around. He voluntarily went, and Lao Chang locked him up.”
“…” Tao Yu’s lips moved, looking bewildered.
“…So you didn’t know about this,” Li Xun stared at her for a while, then couldn’t help but laugh, “That means from the welcome party until today, no one has brought him food or water? Hehe, he deserves it…”
Before he could finish, Tao Yu turned and walked away. Passing the cafeteria, she paused, grabbed some food, and hurried towards the solitary confinement room. Though her limbs were still weak, she walked quickly and soon arrived.
Yue Linze was lying on the bed, staring blankly. Hearing movement at the door, he sat up.
“You’re quite obedient, coming here voluntarily before I brought you,” Tao Yu said, relieved to see him okay, her voice tinged with coldness.
Yue Linze stared at her for a long moment, then slowly said: “Thirsty.”
