”Really? You woke up on his bed, and…” Shao Xian's quickly lowered her voice.

Shao Xian and Wu Jia had quickly grown attached to each other during the afternoon spent on the train. After a few hours of chit-chatting, they were already sharing each other's deepest secrets. Even the seats had changed, as Sai Gao had been chased away to sit together with Fu Bo.

Wu Jia had just told Shao Xian about what had happened with Li Yiming, as well as her waking up after encountering Li Tie.

”Yes.” Wu Jia said as she glanced at Sai Gao, who was minding his own business with his earphones on. As for Fu Bo, she had already forgotten that he was even there.

”So you drank too much?”

”The thing is, I don't even remember drinking. When I woke up, I…”

”Your clothes were gone?”

Wu Jia nodded timidly.

”What did he tell you after?”

”I… I didn't even see him. I just left…” Wu Jia's mood suddenly sank, her face hinting at sadness.

”He didn't contact you since?”

Wu Jia remained silent and looked outside of the window.

This was the reason why Wu Jia had left her home for a trip to clear her mind. After waking up on Li Yiming's bed naked, she had been told by Chen Jiaw.a.n.g that she had too much to drink, but it was palpable to her that he was not telling the whole truth. She returned to the tea shop looking for answers, only to be disappointed by Li Yiming's absence.

Wu Jia did not know that after Bai Ze knocked her out, she also removed her memories for fear of dragging her into the mess with Yunyu Corporation. As for her clothes, they had been dirtied quite a bit, so Bai Ze replaced them. This was about as much as Bai Ze was willing to do, as there was no way she was about to help an ordinary person change.

In the end, even Chen Jiaw.a.n.g's explanation that was given to Wu Jia was instructed by Bai Ze.

”What a coward!” Shao Xian spat out, obviously revolted after hearing Shao Xian's tale. ”Do you think that you could have been… you know… drugged? I don't see how it's possible for you to blank out like that…”

”There's no way. He's not that kind of person.” Wu Jia immediately rushed to Li Yiming's defense. In her mind, Li Yiming was simply too embarra.s.sed to face her.

”Sis, here's my advice. That man is either too afraid to see you right now, or he's a heartless coward,” Shao Xian said, owing to her experience in dealing with people.

”We're here.” The conversation was suddenly interrupted by Fu Bo, who began to pack up his laptop and put down his earphones.

”Already?” Shao Xian had lost track of time after being so engrossed in the conversation.

”Oh? We're already at Mount Mu?” Wu Jia said as the announcement was heard.

”Alright. How about we exchange phone numbers? Maybe we can talk another time?” Shao Xian said rather disappointedly as she looked at Sai Gao. If it was not for their current predicament, she would have tried to convince Sai Gao to change their destination so she could continue to converse with her new friend.

”Sure. But I'm also getting off here.” Wu Jia smiled, as she was also eager to continue the conversation.

”Great! Let's continue then!” Shao Xian jumped up from her seat and grabbed Wu Jia's wrist.

”They got off.” Ying Mei stood up.

”Wait!” Tian Yan suddenly grabbed her wrist.

”What is it?”

”I see black…” Tian Yan said with a severe countenance as she stared outside of the train window.

”Black?”
