"So, is this the only reason you came to talk to me?"
Just a simple sentence left Xie Yunyao, known for her keen intellect, utterly speechless.
She had gone to great lengths to learn about Wang Chen's situation, traversing half the city to find him in this old suburban village, only to bring up an unrelated person?
Xie Yunyao's heartstrings immediately felt tangled.
She didn't understand what had come over her. Ever since her last conversation with Wang Chen, she had been unable to erase him from her mind.
Every time she thought of Wang Chen, this young woman found him all the more enigmatic, unable to resist the urge to uncover the secrets he so carefully concealed.
And such thoughts twisted relentlessly in her mind!
When she'd heard the news of Zhang Jinping's breakdown, Xie Yunyao couldn't hold back anymore.
She had managed to retain some shred of reason, refraining from approaching Wang Chen again at school to avoid drawing gossip toward the two of them.
