"When he left the set today, he took a leave of absence from me. Logically, he should be back by ten o'clock in the evening, but halfway through, he must have gone to help the granny selling tea eggs next to the set, and then he was late, right? Because he was late, he happened to meet his friend who dragged him to the bar. He couldn't refuse his kindness, so he had to go, right?"
"How do you know?" Yue Lanchen was surprised that she was so accurate. If he hadn't known that she'd been here this whole time, he would have wondered if she'd seen the surveillance footage.

Tonight, when I passed by, I saw that she had already closed her stall. Someone must have helped her. Then, after I brought you out of the bar, I could smell the tea leaves on you. I was just guessing."
Yue Lanchen gave her a strange, admiring look.
