Ji An quietly returned to the group when the students of Class 1.0 were about to leave.

—Secret Transmission of Sound—

Ji An: We lost track of him; that person is very cunning.

Xia Xiang: It's the guy I met before.

Ji An: Do you have any leads?

Xia Xiang: Of course not. If I did, would I give him a chance to reappear?

Ji An: Then we can only wait for him to reappear.

Xia Xiang: I have an idea

Ji An: You said

Xia Xiang: I feel like he's targeting me and Wang Dadong, so I'll try to stick with them for the next few days. I'll be in the open, and you'll be in the shadows.

Ji'an: Yes

School rooftop

"What brings you here, King Arthur?" Xia Xiang looked at King Arthur's back and kept complaining in her heart. Why did he have to call him up? And why did she have to listen to him and come up alone?

"Do you know her?" Wang Yase turned around and handed a photo to Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang glanced at it and then turned her head away. "I don't recognize you."

“Your reaction doesn’t seem like it,” Wang Yase said, as if he had found a weakness in her. He pressed her further, wondering what she was hiding.

Xia Xiang also noticed her unusual emotions; she felt that her feelings for Wang Yase were complicated.

Although he had teased her, he had indeed saved her, and she wasn't an ungrateful person.

But she didn't need to explain who she was to him in the first place.

"King Arthur, you really are arrogant." Xia Xiang's impatience deepened. "I've just recovered from a serious illness, and you want me to come to the rooftop for some fresh air? Any normal person would be impatient, okay?"

"Besides, although the little girl in your photo looks a lot like me, I don't know her."

Then, mimicking Sister Sha's mannerisms, she said with a roguish air, "Are we that close? Why should I answer your question? It's ridiculous."

"She might be your sister. Do you have a sister?" Wang Yase put away the photo, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

"An only child, orphaned"—something flashed through Xia Xiang's mind, her eyes reddened, and she roared, "Is it fun to bring up other people's sad stories?!"

"I..." Wang Yase also realized that her behavior was inappropriate, but she felt that her reaction was a bit too much.

But Xia Xiang had already run away quickly, giving him no chance to speak again.

“Narcissist, you’ve gone too far,” Wang Dadong and Ding Xiaoyu said as they emerged from the corner.

"I have something to do, I'm leaving now." Ding Xiaoyu put her hands in her pockets and walked away coolly.

......

"Are you alright?" Ding Xiaoyu saw Xia Xiang sitting alone in the small garden, looking like she was crying, and gently sat down beside her.

"It's nothing," Xia Xiang said, her face looking a little pale. She had been pretending to avoid Wang Yase's questions, but the mention of family made her feel choked up.

"Wipe it off," Ding Xiaoyu said, handing Xia Xiang a white lace handkerchief.

"I didn't cry," Xia Xiang said, suddenly amused when she saw the handkerchief he offered.

"Xiaoyu, I didn't know you had such a girlish heart!"

"This is what you left behind that day. I've washed it clean and am returning it to you," Ding Xiaoyu explained, surprised.

"Thank you..." Xia Xiang took it and stuffed it into her school uniform pocket.

"Don't take what Arthur said too seriously," Ding Xiaoyu said, as if trying to comfort Xia Xiang.

"That girl is his sister; he just really wants to know where she is."

Xia Xiang blinked innocently, looking somewhat uncomfortable: "...Why?"

Ding Xiaoyu slowly recounted the story Wang Yase had told them, leaving Xia Xiang completely bewildered.

Six years ago, that girl disappeared. Wang Yase was so heartbroken that he even lost part of his memory. To this day, the Tulong Gang has not stopped looking for her.

Xia Xiang: If she weren't the one involved, she would shed a couple of crocodile tears and marvel at the deep bond between the siblings.

"Xiaoyu, Xiangxiang," Wang Dadong came to find the two first.

"Arthur's treating tonight, come join us. He went too far today, we have to make him pay dearly."

The three of them looked at the sky and the ground in the distance, but not at Wang Arthur.

Wang Yase: He felt more and more suspicious of Xia Xiang!

The group chose a very luxurious restaurant and had a big meal. In the second half, Wang Arthur took the three of them to his father's newly opened bar.
