Only No.12 understood what Yue Xin meant. His ears turned red. “Thank you.”
Yue Xin tilted her head and asked, “Do you know how to paste couplets? This is the first verse, and this is the second verse.
No.12 nodded and ran to the door of his cell to tinker.
Yue Xin saw that there was no problem with posts of Alex and Mi Aya, so she went to post hers.
After sticking on the couplets, she suddenly remembered that there was something wrong with Yi Chengxuan today. Often, he would hide his thoughts very well. However, he was clearly distracted today.
Yue Xin glanced at No.12 and decided to wrap dumplings with everyone before deciding whether to look for Yi Chengxuan.
The dumplings were stuffed with crab roe. Yue Xin had requested for the crab roe to be airlifted in advance. She would never eat seafood from the Land of the Fallen.
Alex was indeed a man who knitted. He learned how to make dumplings quickly and even figured out a better way to make them himself.
Mi Aya was a mess. No.12 was greedy and stuffed the dumplings until they were about to explode. Yue Xin, on the other hand, chose to snatch the fruits of someone else’s labor.
“Alex, give me your bag.” Yue Xin reached out to Alex.
Alex was stunned. He handed over the triangle, crescent, rose, and other beautiful dumplings he had just wrapped.
Yue Xin took it and praised, “As expected, your dumplings look the best.”
Her words not only roused the fighting spirit of the other two, but also made Alex happy.
Yue Xin held the dumplings in her hand and looked at the three people in front of her. She suddenly said, “I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
No.12 was slightly stunned, but in the end, he swallowed the words he wanted to say. “Alright, we’ll wait for you.”
Alex wrapped it even harder. “When Boss comes back, I’ll show you the new shape of the dumplings!”
“Boss, call me if you need anything!” Mi Aya expressed her loyalty as she was tortured by dumplings.
Yue Xin nodded and took the dumplings that Alex had made. She left Building No.7 and went to Building No.5.
In the past year, Yue Xin had been able to enter and leave Building No.5 at will.
Now, her appearance wouldn’t cause any commotion among the prisoners in Building No.5 at all. At most, after meeting Yue Xin’s eyes, they would say hello and nothing else. No one would inform Yi Chengxuan that she was here.
Building No.5 now had a default rule that Yue Xin could enter and leave Building No.5 at will. Therefore, Yi Chengxuan missed the opportunity to mask his emotions in advance.
When Yue Xin arrived at the 36th floor, she realized that it was only 8 p.m., but the lights on Yi Chengxuan’s floor had all been turned off, leaving only a corridor light on. Moreover, sandalwood lingered on the 36th floor every day, but now, it was replaced by another strong smell. It was the smell of alcohol.
Yue Xin thought for a while and followed her instincts. She didn’t turn on any lights and quietly followed the smell of the wine to the source, Yi Chengxuan’s bedroom.
The bedroom door was unlocked and the lights were off. When Yue Xin walked to the door, she saw a man sitting in front of the bay window. Under the weak moonlight, he looked like he would shatter at a touch.
Yi Chengxuan usually tied his slightly long hair up, but now, it was casually spread out by him, revealing his dejection along with the wine in his hand.
This was a side of Yi Chengxuan that he had never displayed in front of others.
It was also the real Yi Chengxuan that Yue Xin had always wanted to see.
Without any hesitation, Yue Xin turned on the light in Yi Chengxuan’s bedroom.
The light swallowed all the darkness and temporarily blocked Yi Chengxuan’s vision. He raised the wine bottle in front of his eyes and waited for his eyes to adapt to the light before putting it down.
When Yue Xin’s face was reflected in the window, he was not surprised. After all, at this time, there was no one else other than Yue Xin who could appear. However, Yi Chengxuan was a little surprised. He originally thought that Yue Xin would spend a warm night with the three people in Building No.7 today and not come to his place.
Yi Chengxuan put down the wine bottle and reached out to tidy his sleeves. He did not look at Yue Xin but looked out of the window and asked, “Why are you here? I might not be able to tell you a story today.”
Yue Xin took two steps closer and realized that not only did the bedroom smell of alcohol, but there was also the smell of blood hidden under the smell of alcohol.
“Yi Chengxuan, what are you doing?” Yue Xin continued to approach, but Yi Chengxuan berated her.
This was the first time Yi Chengxuan had spoken to Yue Xin with such strong personal emotions. “Go back to Building No.7! Didn’t I tell you that you have to spend New Year’s Eve with people who are important to you?”
Yue Xin stopped in her tracks. She had already found the source of the smell of blood. It was Yi Chengxuan’s left hand. She walked over in two to three steps and grabbed his left hand, ignoring his struggle as she did so..
