"If it were any other place, I'd be jumping for joy, but because it's here, I honestly wouldn't want Papa to come." An expression of dread flashed across Bai Wu's face as he remarked with a hint of worry.
"Why? I came here to find you. I lost my phone when I was in the middle of chasing someone, so I wasn't able to pick up your call." Xu Lan declined the bread that Bai Wu offered and went to sit on a stool inside the house.
The relatively modest house was made of mud brick. Its furnishings were quite simple: a table, a bed, and a few stools.
"…" Bai Wu, with his reddened eye sockets, looked down.
"I'm sorry. Just recently you mentioned that the void didn't have that big of an effect, so I became careless. I came to apologize. I was too busy with the case and we never had a chance to sit down and properly talk about it."
Bai Wu lifted his head abruptly, revealing a constant flow of tears.
