What did that look mean?
Lin Xingzhu sat in place, her eyes contemplating the graceful figure that blended into the crowd.
Mu Muqing was turning her head to introduce Bai Xiying to someone; the two, one in pink and the other in black, stood side by side, looking quite well-matched.
However, after observing their interaction up close, Lin Xingzhu began to suspect that perhaps the two weren't actually in a relationship, but merely had a physical connection.
From her angle, Bai Xiying seemed perfectly fine, engaging in conversation with Mu Muqing.
Suddenly, she saw Bai Xiying sway a little, and Mu Muqing quickly supported her, inadvertently closing the distance between them.
Initially thinking it was just a minor incident, Lin Xingzhu then noticed that a nearby waiter, who had been walking behind them, had been startled by the commotion. The tray in his hand slipped, spilling the remaining glass of wine all over Bai Xiying's dress.
A moment of chaos ensued.
She gasped, feeling that this scene was eerily familiar.
—The banquet, and getting splashed with wine.
It was as if keywords had been triggered, and Lin Xingzhu couldn't help but wonder if the next step would involve someone leading her away to change out of her soiled clothes.
"...?"
Watching the suddenly appearing waiter, who seemed to be humbly apologizing to Bai Xiying, Lin Xingzhu noticed that Bai Xiying followed him away.
So, was she really being led away to change clothes?
Putting these key points together made the whole situation feel quite peculiar.
—Though this was a common occurrence at a banquet.
Suddenly, Lin Xingzhu's brow furrowed.
A familiar figure stood behind a tall column at a slant across from her. It was too far away for Lin Xingzhu to see Qiao Zijing's expression, but from her direction, it seemed like she had been watching where Bai Xiying had just been.
A chill crept up her spine.
As Lin Xingzhu fixed her gaze on Qiao Zijing, who was following Bai Xiying's direction, that chill reached its peak.
It felt like something flashed before her eyes.
—A large area of soft red.
That look on Bai Xiying's face just before she left!
Suddenly, everything clicked for Lin Xingzhu.
