When Xue Xi saw the email, she remembered her second trip to the Gourmet Center to look for food. Kevin had mysteriously sought her out and asked if she had any more dishes like the last one. At first, she thought he'd been won over by the food.

Suddenly, she felt as if the world were full of malice
