Yue Xin did not answer. After Su Yu left, she turned to Yi Chengxuan and said, “I’ll eat with No. 12.”

It sounded like she was chasing him away, but in fact, Yue Xin was asking him if he wanted to eat with her. She didn’t ask how Yi Chengxuan knew. Although he hadn’t interacted with Yue Xin for long, it was enough for him to figure out Yue Xin’s behavior and communication patterns.

Yue Xin was a single person until now, but she was very smart. It was difficult for her to see through Su Yu’s little trick today. For some reason, Yi Chengxuan felt an inexplicable sense of fatherly pride in his heart. She was worth teaching.

Yi Chengxuan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands. “I’ll go with you,” he replied. After saying that, No. 12 glanced over.

Unlike the affectionate look he gave Yue Xin, the way No. 12 looked at Yi Chengxuan was not very friendly. It could even be said that if looks could kill, he would be dead now.

However, No. 12 was different from Su Yu. No matter how much he thought about it, he would not go against Yue Xin’s wishes. Hence, after Yue Xin nodded in agreement, No. 12 did not say anything else.

After Yi Chengxuan finished wiping his hands, he sensed Yue Xin’s gaze on his handkerchief. He asked, “Do you like this?”

Yue Xin looked at the embroidery on the handkerchief and said, “The embroidery on this is really beautiful.”

Yi Chengxuan stopped wiping his hands and put the handkerchief back into his pocket. “If you want it, I’ll give you a new one another day.”

Yue Xin looked at him. “But I don’t have anything to give you.”

To the current Yue Xin, she did not dare to take anything that could be obtained in prison without paying.

When Yi Chengxuan heard Yue Xin’s words, he didn’t show any surprise. He said gently, “Tell me how you sensed Su Yu’s intentions just now. If you’re right, you can take the handkerchief as a reward for thinking carefully.”

Yue Xin shook her head. “I didn’t notice it. I just felt a little strange, so I tested it. Everything in prison that can be obtained without paying can’t be trusted. You taught me this.”

It was just a sentence, but the moment Yue Xin finished speaking, Yi Chengxuan suddenly felt that time around him had stopped. The smooth marble floor reflected the shadows of more than three people.

Yi Chengxuan looked into Yue Xin’s emotionless eyes and suddenly felt the soul-stirring power in them. He retracted his gaze. “Yue Xin, don’t believe others’ words. You have to learn to judge for yourself.” Yue Xin asked, “Then can I believe what you’re saying now?”

Yi Chengxuan was speechless.

At about the same time as yesterday, Yue Xin brought the same person in charge into the same restaurant and went to the same table.

It was clearly in the hall, but that table had been empty; it was if it was specially reserved for Yi Chengxuan.

After Yi Chengxuan sat down, someone from the restaurant immediately welcomed him and handed him a colorful bill.

Thanks to Yi Chengxuan, Yue Xin also had a menu, but No. 12 didn’t. Hence, after ordering a bowl of porridge and a plate of chili sauce, Yue Xin handed the menu to No. 12.

No, 12 did not take it. He lowered his head, and the hair on his forehead fluttered. “Why are you only eating porridge?”

Yue Xin said, “I don’t know what to eat. I just randomly ordered.”

Only then did No. 12 remember that Yue Xin’s previous dishes were all taken by him. Every time he brought the dishes to Yue Xin, Yue Xin would eat them. She had never said which one she liked and which one she didn’t like. On the other hand, Maya always complained that she didn’t like this and that. She also liked to force Yue Xin to tell her what she thought about the food. Every time Yue Xin was annoyed by the questions, she would force herself to say a few words.

“Do you want me to get you anything?” No. 12 asked.

Yue Xin: “No need, I’ll take it myself.”

No. 12: “You eat too little.”

Yue Xin still shook her head. “No need. I’ll just eat these.”

No. 12 didn’t force her anymore and ordered the same food as Yue Xin.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have finished talking, Yi Chengxuan said, “Yue Xin, we won’t go to Building No. 6 tomorrow. I’ll take you to Building

No. 8.”

When No. 12 heard Yi Chengxuan’s words, he looked over inquiringly.

Yi Chengxuan ignored No. 12’s gaze and continued to say to Yue Xin, “I m asking you to go to Building No. 6 because I wanted you to know the weaknesses of the human body so that you can protect yourself in an emergency. However, I realized that compared to the weaknesses of the human body, you seem to have to understand the human heart first.”

Yue Xin had no objections and nodded. “Okay.”

Her obedient appearance made Yi Chengxuan sigh. He didn’t care how many pairs of ears there were in the restaurant now and simply explained what had just happened to Yue Xin.

“Yue Xin, you should have noticed that Su Yu wanted to kill you twice.” Twice. Yue Xin silently recited the number, which coincided with the number of times she felt that Su Yu was weird..
