Nie Xingqing had initially been somewhat shocked by Xiao Guizi's words, but now, observing Xiao Guizi's expression,

"Then prepare yourself tonight, and be careful on your way to Xu Zimei's room. Don't let anyone see you, or it'll be hard to explain later," Xiao Guizi cautioned.
Nie Xingqing nodded and watched Xiao Guizi's retreating figure, her gaze pensive for a long time.

She sat down in front of the mirror and applied her makeup meticulously.
Then, taking advantage of the cover of the dark, windy night, she silently made her way to Xu Zimei's room.
