By the time the hotel staff delivered the meal, Xia Chu had dined with Huo Xiyao and shared some fruit after the meal, then accompanied him for a bath.
His mood finally improved significantly.
He smiled willingly at Xia Chu and said, "Sweet Bao'er, I couldn't accompany you to school today. How about we go tomorrow morning? It's nice and cool in the morning, and I think there's a market too. We could check it out."
Since he had opened up, Xia Chu didn't hide it from him anymore, "Do you think I really wanted to go to school? Wasn't I just trying to cheer you up, waiting for you to relax a bit before finding an opportunity to gently coax out all the pent-up frustration in your heart, and then let go of it completely?"
"But now there's no need to let go, I hold grudges even more than you. We must avenge this sooner or later, we've got to make him pay in blood!"
