Huang Yue and Zhao Cheng parted ways on bad terms that night. Since there was no progress on Wen Nian's side and Huang Yue's face and feet had not fully healed, she applied for the rest of the week off and didn't attend any classes.
However, Huang Yue didn't have a comfortable time while recuperating at home that week. She spent her time thinking about how to set up a trap for Wen Nian. It's unclear whether it was due to her preoccupation or something else, but her wound seemed to heal particularly slowly.
On the night of the incident, the scalded area had only been rinsed for over ten minutes. Despite receiving prompt treatment, the water that burned Huang Yue's face and feet was still over 90 degrees Celsius. Huang Yue was willing to resort to extreme measures to bring Wen Nian down, even if it meant harming herself. If the water hadn't already boiled for a while, she would have filled it with boiling hot water to ensure Wen Nian's punishment.
