After taking a shower, Lin Hu went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, Lin Hu was awakened by anxious knocking on the door, and Duan Linzhou, who was sleeping next to him, also looked displeased.
"You lie down, I'll go check on him." Duan Linzhou reached out and pressed Lin Hu back into the covers, then got up, put on his shoes, and went to open the door.
When Belle saw that it wasn't Lin Hu who opened the door, she was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what she was there for.
"I'm looking for Lin Hu, is he here?" Belle asked, trying to peek into the house, but Duan Linzhou was too tall and her view was completely blocked.
"What happened?" Lin Hu heard Belle's voice and, remembering what happened yesterday, quickly put on his shoes and came out to ask what was going on.

Seeing her former best friend in this kind of environment made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Belle didn't know how to start, and after a long pause, she finally managed to ask, "Why?"
Wenxi's head, which had been hanging down, moved slightly. Her hair obscured her face, so her expression was not visible.
Belle was somewhat angry: "Was it fake when you first became friends with me?"
Everyone says that Black Mermaids are emotionally detached, but when Winnie is with her, they laugh happily. Is this still an act?
"No!" Wenxi said angrily, cutting off Belle's wild thoughts.
"But you're a black merman, and I never knew that! You lied to me..."
