This night, Xu Ke and Alice endured a lot of torment.
The next day, when Xu Ke went downstairs, he didn't see Alice. Instead, he only saw a landlady who, upon seeing him, looked furious and dissatisfied. Originally planning to go over and talk to her, Xu Ke changed his mind and quietly walked outside instead.
Seeing Xu Ke not even asking how Alice was doing, the landlady threw down the things in her hands with a crash, muttering ceaselessly, "I really misjudged you, thought you were some kind of good man, but you turned out to be scum, a piece of garbage. My daughter is so good, yet you can't appreciate her. What kind of person are you, huh?"
Walking on the road, Xu Ke sneezed, paused for a moment, and then continued towards Claude's estate.
When Xu Ke arrived, there were still five minutes until the time the two had agreed upon.
Claude had been waiting in the estate for Xu Ke, and seeing him arrive as promised, a smile appeared on his face.
