Upon hearing about going to Red Maple Leaf, Jian Si didn't hesitate to refuse, "No way, I'm not going! With my face looking like this, how could I go? Do you want everyone to know I've been beaten up?"
Lu Youting: "...??"
Seeing that he didn't respond, Jian Si added, "If you want to go, you go, Xiao Bai and I won't."
Lu Youting felt her reasoning was sound.
The swelling on Jian Si's face had subsided considerably, but the clear handprint was still visible, along with bite marks on her neck and collarbone, which could lead to misunderstandings.
After briefly pondering, he decisively took out his phone and sent messages to Gu Yuchen and Shen Xiuyi.
"Jian Si is sick, I need to take care of her and Xiao Bai so we're not coming, you guys have fun!"
Gu Yuchen, who had agreed enthusiastically, didn't expect Lu Youting to back out.
