Zhao Lan's mind buzzed and went blank. She was flustered and had a lot of messy thoughts. Her face was also filled with regret. Why… Why had she accidentally said that out loud?
She racked her brains, wanting to say something to explain, but before she could say anything, a sudden thud came from the side.
Zhao Lan was startled. She tilted her head and followed the light from Little Bei's flashlight until she saw the couple who lived nearest to the Shao Residence. They had outerwear draped over them, and it was obvious that they had come in a hurry. They were also holding flashlights in their hands, but compared to Little Bei's flashlight, the light was negligible. One look and one could tell that the flashlights had run out of battery, just like the one in Zhao Lan's hand.
They stared at Zhao Lan with their mouths wide open, their faces filled with shock. They also felt excitement and disbelief after hearing the gossip.
