With a puzzled smile, Wu Xiaoshan quickly replied, "Xiaolei, whatever matter you have, just say it. There's no need for formalities of offering help or not; it feels like we're strangers."
"You head home first, and I'll talk to you when we meet."
On the phone, Xin Lei did not clarify but instead urged Wu Xiaoshan to hurry home.
Before Wu Xiaoshan could ask any further, Xin Lei hung up the phone.
"Xinran, you go ahead and stay busy, I have something to take care of."
After saying goodbye to Fang Xinran, Wu Xiaoshan went straight home.
In the yard, Xin Lei was pacing back and forth with her head down.
Only when she heard the noise outside the courtyard gate did she stop and look up.
"Xiaolei, you seemed in a hurry, what do you need my help with?"
Wetting her lips, Xin Lei hesitated for a long time before speaking softly, "Can you come home with me?"
"You want me to come home with you?"
Upon hearing Xin Lei's words, Wu Xiaoshan was taken aback.
