The atmosphere froze instantly.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a long time. Xiang Zhilan felt his hand loosen a little, so she immediately pulled her arm back and rubbed it herself.

Shen Mu walked past her without saying a word and headed towards the car across the street.

Xiang Zhilan was a little annoyed. She turned around and headed towards the park. After walking a few meters, she couldn't help but look back. She found that he didn't seem to be coming after her to apologize, which made her even angrier.

"Damn it!" Xiang Zhilan turned around and cursed under her breath, then heard the sound of a car starting.

When she looked again, all she could see was a trail of car exhaust fumes.

"You bastard!" Xiang Zhilan turned around, kicked a pebble in the direction he left, and stormed home. She had no mood to go to the park now!

When they got home, Xiang's mother had just finished washing the dishes and came out, somewhat surprised: "You and Muzhi finished shopping so quickly? Where's Muzhi?"

"Dead." Xiang Zhilan changed into slippers and hurried towards her room.

"How can you talk like that?" Xiang's mother scolded. "Did you two have another argument?"

"Who wants to argue with him?" Xiang Zhilan walked into the room and slammed the door shut.

Xiang's mother and father looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Xiang Zhilan entered the room and rolled up her sleeves to see that they were almost blue with red. She was completely baffled. She had only spoken a few truthful words, so why was she pinched like this?

His friend's personality is better than his. When has Xu Tingchuan ever treated Ni Sitian like this?

You're so stingy! You can't stand it when she praises others!

"You jerk, you bastard, you deadpan!" Xiang Zhilan grabbed the bear and got angrier and angrier.

Seeing that she had almost scratched the bear bald, she finally let go, tossed it aside, and leaned back on the bed, remembering to call Ni Sitian.

Ni Sitian was working in her study, typing away. Without even looking at her phone, she answered it, still typing with one hand, "Hello?"

"It's me." Xiang Zhilan had calmed down a bit and started talking about how she had agreed to the wedding photos, then asked Ni Sitian for her account number.

Ni Sitian casually gave her account number, picked up the milk glass on the table, and took a sip.

"Sitian, I want to ask you something." Xiang Zhilan pursed her lips, hesitating slightly.

"What's wrong? Just ask." Ni Sitian smiled, a little curious about what could have made the straightforward Xiang Zhilan so troubled.

"Don't be angry that I asked. I just thought it was suspicious, that's why I wanted to ask," Xiang Zhilan said, giving Ni Sitian a heads-up.

"Why am I angry with you? Tell me quickly, don't be so upset." Ni Sitian lowered her head and drank her milk again.

"Did Xu Tingchuan steal the girl Shen Muzhi liked?"

"Pfft!" Ni Sitian spat out her milk and choked several times. She knew Xiang Zhilan was smart, but she didn't expect her to discover the clue so quickly. Although it wasn't entirely accurate, it wasn't far off.

"Don't get so agitated, I was just asking," Xiang Zhilan quickly reassured her when she heard her spit out her drink.

Ni Sitian choked a few times before stopping, and cautiously asked, "Why did you suddenly ask that? Did Shen Muzhi say something to you?"

"No, it's just that he suddenly became very strange." Xiang Zhilan felt that his attitude was as if she had hit a nerve.

"Did you two have a fight?" Ni Sitian frowned slightly, worried that Xiang Zhilan might step on Shen Muzhi's landmine.
