Putting on an Act

She was at his apartment?

It was the first day of the new year today. How was it possible that she would look for him at this time?

In doubt, Hua Jin went over to the clothes rack to pick up his coat and drape it over his body.

Lin Xueya's intermittent weak and helpless cries were heard over the phone. Compared to the usually arrogant and aloof stance of hers, which was similar to that of a regal queen, she sounded like a helpless and lonely bird dependent on its owner's help then.

"I'm giving you half an hour to appear by my side. Jin, I need you… immediately." Lin Xueya ended the call with that command.

The idol held the phone with a grimace for a moment before turning to announce, "Youyou, Little Yichen, I have an emergency, so I'll be heading home now! Please help me pass my new year's blessings to your parents when they wake up later."

"Brother Hua Jin, where are you going?" asked the younger boy askance.
