"Hmm, not bad." Wu Lai put the painting away.
Just as he was about to leave, Song Xiwei called out to him, "By the way, given my current condition, it shouldn't be a problem if I have to go out for a short while, right?"
Song Xiwei looked at Wu Lai tentatively.
Sure enough, Wu Lai's face visibly darkened. "You're going to find him?"
"It's not that, it's just that I wanted to secretly check on him without disturbing him. After all, I'm still not sure if I'll get better, and I can't hold him back. I just haven't seen him in a long time and I wanted to see him."
Song Xiwei was still prepared to plead with Wu Lai, but Wu Lai said firmly, "No way! You know your own situation, why are you asking me?"
"Then, what if you come with me?" Song Xiwei asked again.
"Who wants to be with you? Did I promise to be with you? Don't dream about it, I won't!" Wu Lai said angrily, only then realizing what was happening, and accepted Song Xiwei's painting.
"So you were waiting for me here? Is this what the painting means? Fine, take the painting, I don't need it." Wu Lai didn't know why he was so angry.
Song Xiwei hadn't expected that Wu Lai, who was usually so easy to talk to, would turn on her like this over something like this.
"I'm just discussing this with you, aren't I? If you say no, I certainly won't force you. This painting isn't for negotiating with you; it's just a gift for you. Don't be angry." Song Xiwei didn't insist on doing anything. Seeing Wu Lai's strong reaction, she wouldn't insist on doing anything.
“Your situation is not optimistic right now. Be careful. Don’t think that just because I’m helping you delay the onset of divine punishment, you’ll be fine. Have you forgotten why you ended up like that in your past life?” Wu Lai hesitated for a moment before reminding Song Xiwei.
Song Xiwei quickly said, "Why are you acting so strange today?"
"It's not that I'm acting strange, it's you. Have you thought about what you're going to do next?" Wu Lai looked at Song Xiwei anxiously.
Seeing his anxious yet helpless expression, Song Xiwei said slowly, "Isn't it just a matter of taking it one step at a time? Why do you suddenly seem so anxious? Did that person you met yesterday say something to you?"
"How did you know who I met yesterday?" Wu Lai's meeting with Siming was a secret, and outsiders would not know, not even disciples of the sect. How did Song Xiwei find out?
"I'm just guessing, but judging from your reaction, it seems you really did meet someone. Is it related to me?" Song Xiwei is always smart; it would be strange if she couldn't see through this.
Wu Lai lowered his eyelids. "I haven't figured out how to tell you yet."
"Then let's have dinner together another day, would you like?" Song Xiwei suddenly asked.
Wu Lai sighed, "Aren't you worried at all? You have such a good appetite? It's not affecting you at all?"
"Sigh, if something really serious happens, I'll suffer now and regret it later. Let's live for today and be merry. The future is uncertain. It's okay to worry, but we can't worry too much."
Seeing that Wu Lai was still frowning, Song Xiwei said earnestly, "Now I have to talk to you. Although we are friends now, don't forget that you and I were enemies 100,000 years ago. You are more worried about yourself than I am the one who is right now. Don't you think it's strange?"
That hit the nail on the head, and Wu Lai himself was startled.
That shouldn't be done.
If the matter that Si Ming had asked him about had happened before, it would never have made him look so strange and gloomy, but now it was troubling him so much.
In comparison, Song Xiwei was much more relaxed than him.
"Fine, I'll just be honest with you." Wu Lai was in such a state of confusion, and after being teased by Song Xiwei like this, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Actually, the person who came to see me yesterday was the Star Lord of Fate. You probably don't know him very well..."
