"Why? I came here to find you. I lost my phone when I was in the middle of chasing someone, so I wasn't able to pick up your call." Xu Lan declined the bread that Bai Wu offered and went to sit on a stool inside the house.

"I'm sorry. Just recently you mentioned that the void didn't have that big of an effect, so I became careless. I came to apologize. I was too busy with the case and we never had a chance to sit down and properly talk about it."

Bai Wu lifted his head abruptly, revealing a constant flow of tears.
