Ou Jue's gaze met hers directly. "She drugged me, but I didn't do anything."
"Really? Nothing at all? You were drugged, though."
"Nothing." Firm and candid.
"Alright, I believe you." Xiyan nodded, exited the news app, and turned off her phone screen.
Then she hugged Ou Jue's arm. "Let's go eat! It's been ages since I had a meal with you. Today I'm going to feast!"
For a moment, a flicker of astonishment flashed in Ou Jue's usually composed eyes.
He had thought this girl would feel jealous or suspicious after seeing that surveillance footage.
Just like those comments from the netizens.
Two people alone in a room for so long and yet nothing happened—who would believe that?
But instead, she said... she believed him.
Ou Jue pulled Xiyan's arm in return, his grip instinctively tightening. "You really trust me that much? Hmm?"
"Why wouldn't I? You're the one closest to me."
Her casual tone somehow stirred something in Ou Jue.
After a while, he murmured in a low voice, "Idiot."
