Xu Qiuyan, Purple Clad, and I sat in one row, with them sandwiching me in the middle.
Across from us sat Fatty, Yin Wuyu, and Li Lin.
Yin Wuyu leaned against the window, still absorbed in his mobile game. He was playing PUBG.
Fatty looked calm and composed, his arms folded across his chest as he rested with his eyes closed.
Li Lin sat by the aisle, his eyes constantly sweeping over the carriage, tension written across his face.
I figured he was afraid another assassin would appear. After all, his crisis had yet to be resolved.
"Li Lin, tell us about you and Meng Ba Nong Lan. What exactly did you do to her?" Old Du had not explained it clearly before, but I knew Li Lin must have done something to wrong her.
Li Lin gave a bitter smile. "I pushed her off a cliff."
My eyes widened, and Xu Qiuyan beside me looked at him as well. "That was murder."
Fatty opened his previously closed eyes and turned to look at Li Lin.
"I know you must think I'm not human for doing that, but I was truly furious at the time because she wanted to kill me. To be honest, I didn't know she was South Asian at first. Her Mandarin was excellent, better than anyone around me, at least. At first, I really did like her."
"You haven't said how she appeared. Start from when you first met her."
There was nothing to do on the train anyway, and I needed to learn about him and Panba Nonglan.
"It happened during the second half of my sophomore year in high school." Li Lin seemed to sink into thought.
It was during a school break. Li Lin had arranged with his classmates to visit Mount Fanjing.
