"I'll deal with it tomorrow. I'll keep you company and let you rest first," Song Yuxiu said, showing exceptional consideration.
"It's alright, you can go ahead and do what you need to do." Shen Zhiyi guessed that the person living in Xuanfang Courtyard must have started causing trouble again. Song Yuxiu was caught in a dilemma, so he left in the end.
