In the hallway, only Lu Fengxuan was left.
The man was bitten by her, his lip bleeding. After pushing her away, he stormed off decisively, each step brimming with speed and anger.
Lu Fengxuan stood there dazed, staring at his back until it disappeared around the corner of the hallway.
Her melancholy didn't last long; Gu Xiao's call came through, asking where she was so they could come to find her.
"No need, I'll head over now." Lu Fengxuan hung up the phone and retraced her steps back to the private room.
Gu Xiao, worried from her prolonged absence, was already waiting by the door.
As soon as she saw Lu Fengxuan return, Gu Xiao rushed forward and asked, "Sister Lu, are you okay? Why did you take so long?"
"Just happened to bump into an old acquaintance. We quarreled and chatted a bit, and I lost track of time."
Lu Fengxuan answered Gu Xiao's question briefly, steering away from deeper details, then pulled her along to sit down together.
