The Master has extreme tastes!

...

Xu Yue returned home smoothly.

When her parents scolded her, she did not yell at them like she usually did. Instead, she hugged them and cried.

Her reaction frightened her parents, and they immediately stopped questioning her. Instead, they turned to comfort her.

The next day, without getting any rest, Xu Yue grabbed her backpack and headed straight for school.

Class 3-1.

Song Jingwan was explaining a question to one of her classmates. All of a sudden, she heard someone calling her from the door.

"Jingwan, come out for a moment."

The familiar voice made her happy. She turned her head and saw Xu Yue. She had lost a lot of weight, causing her eyes to look particularly big, and her skin was pale due to a lack of sunlight. She smiled as she stood by the window and waved at Song Jingwan.

"Yueyue, you're back!"

"Yes, I've made you worried." Xu Yue watched from the window as the look of surprise on Song Jingwan's face was replaced with caution. Xu Yue's smile grew and she said softly, "Jingwan, come out, I have something to say to you. Or do you want me to say it here?"

She stared straight into Song Jingwan's eyes and got ready to speak.

"Wait a moment!"

Song Jingwan pursed her lips and interrupted Xu Yue as she pushed her wheelchair out.

"What happened to your legs and wrists?"

Amusement appeared in Xu Yue's eyes, happy to see her misfortune.

She knew she shouldn't be like this. But after spending so many days in that dark place, her soul had long been twisted. And when she saw the bright smiles at Song Jingwan's birthday party, it pushed her to her limits.

Yes, she hated Song Jingwan!

She was the one who told her to treat Song Yaoyao ruthlessly and to capture some footage. That's why she did what she did.

But, in the end, she was the only one who was hurt and almost tortured until she lost her mind.

When Song Jingwan heard her question, she lowered her eyes and said in an aggrieved manner, "It was Song Yaoyao. She tried to kill me in front of my mother!"

She deliberately made the situation sound more serious before she asked worriedly, "Yueyue, where have you been these last few days? Your mom said you went on a holiday overseas. I was looking everywhere for you. I was so worried!"

"Oh? Really?"

Xu Yue's eyes curved as she approached Song Jingwan from behind.

"Jingwan, let me push you. We haven't seen each other for so long. We should have a good chat."

"No—" Song Jingwan's expression stiffened. She observantly noticed that Xu Yue was a little strange, but she had mobility problems. At a time like this, she didn't want to go with Xu Yue.

But she would seem a little heartless if she rejected her.

Xu Yue couldn't help but say as she started pushing Song Jingwan to the stairs, "Huh? Jingwan, what's wrong? Aren't we friends? Why do you sound frightened by me?"

"Do I? You must be mistaken..." Song Jingwan said awkwardly as she brushed her hair back.

"Yes...maybe. Otherwise, based on your reaction, I would have thought that you knew what happened to me these past few days."

As soon as she said this, Xu Yue glanced down.

She spotted goosebumps on the girl's exposed skin.

She smiled and started laughing happily.

"Jingwan, I had so much fun abroad. A lot of interesting things happened. Let me tell you all about it."

Xu Yue's eyes were bitter and resentful, like someone possessed by a ghost in a horror movie as she pushed Song Jingwan straight towards the stairs.

"No! Yueyue, stop! My wheelchair can't go down this way!"
