Ye Liangyan walked alone on the busy streets, her hair disheveled, wandering aimlessly like a madwoman.
Just before, Lin Qingyuan had called to ask if she had arrived at school.
While she was still dazed, Lin Qingyuan relayed to her what Ye Xiaoyi had said.
She was a bit startled, but quickly recovered and smoothly continued the lie according to Ye Xiaoyi's words.
Lin Qingyuan didn't say much more, just reminded her to be careful on her way back and hung up.
Ye Liangyan stared at her phone and let out a "hehe" with a laugh.
All that remained at the bottom of her heart was an endless coldness and desolation.
She didn't know why Ye Xiaoyi lied for her, nor did she want to think deeply about it.
Now, she only knew that she couldn't go back to school either.
