Whoosh!
Someone who was speaking got splashed with water in their face.
Li Ze glared angrily at He Xingjue, his swollen, red eyes seeming to be on fire. He grabbed the blanket, wrapped himself in it, got out of bed, and strode towards the door.
He Xingjue looked at his staggering figure, feeling heartbroken. He rushed over, picked him up in his arms, and spoke before Li Ze could curse, "It's my fault. I won't say anything more, I won't mention it. Where do you want to go? I'll take you there right now."
