Lu Ming intercepted He Yuan the next day on his way to the assignment hall. "Du Ling about that time..."
He Yuan did not give Lu Ming the time of the day and walked right past him. Lu Ming was popular in this base so direct confrontation of any sort would not end well for him.
Lu Ming stumped his foot in aggravation and chased after He Yuan. "Du Ling, why won't you let me explain?! We didn't have any choice back then and brother Jian was confused due to fear."
He Yuan had to hold himself back so he wouldn't turn around and snap Lu Ming's neck like a twig. What a great way to explain away all the horror the both of them put Du Ling through -'Du Jian was confused due to fear'- Even a toddler could lie better than that!
Lu Ming clenched his fists tightly at his sides. "Du Ling! You claimed to love me very much, now you wouldn't even look at me and let me explain!"
