Bai Lian took the lead in going out.
Jiang Fulai followed behind her.
Zhang Shize, normally talkative, found himself at a loss for words in front of Yan Lu, who herself was of a cold and distant disposition. The last time Yan Lu and her parents visited, the two of them hardly exchanged a single word.
As Jiang Fulai lagged behind Bai Lian and was about to close the door,
he glanced at Zhang Shize, then at Yan Lu, and suddenly asked, "Zhang Shize, has your injury healed?"
Zhang Shize was startled.
Yan Lu looked at Zhang Shize, and then at Jiang Fulai.
"Last time, he fought with Liu Xinming and suffered severe internal injuries, which haven't healed to this day," Jiang Fulai said, pointing to the spot where Zhang Shize had been hit by a fellow prisoner, then elegantly walked out.
Zhang Shize touched his stomach, then looked up at Yan Lu, who appeared anxious.
It was an awakening.
