" I happened to run into Gu Youxuan and Winnie. After hearing about your situation, I came to see if there was anything I could help with."
Xiao Xiao told him everything he knew.
"Gu Youxuan? Winnie?"
A trace of realization flickered through Dan Fangze's eyes.
But then, "Help with what?"
"What can you help with?"
Dan Fangze sneered, his voice hoarse. "I don't know why they even told you."
"Did you come here to laugh at me?"
He and Xiao Xiao had only gone on an outing together once, because of Gu Youxuan.
They had never even spoken alone.

Since he disdained pretending, he had never deliberately shown Xiao Xiao any kindness.
Given their relationship, it was truly difficult for him to believe that the other man had come to see him with good intentions.
"Gu Youxuan and Winnie are very worried about you."
Xiao Xiao did not get angry at Dan Fangze's hostile words. Instead, he simply stated the facts. "I'm not that bored, either."
"I didn't come all this way just to see you make a fool of yourself."
"After all, we weren't friends before, but we weren't enemies, either."
It was precisely Xiao Xiao's calm tone that made Dan Fangze feel he would be in the wrong to lose his temper.

He could not help but slam the ground beside him. "Bang!"
