When Bai Lian, who should have been in detention, appeared at the hospital, Xu En was stunned for a moment before responding, “Hello, I’m Xu En.” He extended his hand.

In Bai Lian’s room, she had just finished her shower. Dressed in her loungewear, she was drying her hair with a towel, preferring not to use a hair dryer.
