Su Zhinian straightened himself in a hurry, then he rushed to the sink. As he rubbed his hands raw, he interrupted Song Qingchun without thought, "Tingting, please go out first. After I'm done, we'll sit down and talk, okay?"

He admitted, he was really fragile at the time, he really needed time to prepare himself mentally before he was flung out of heaven and into hell.

"No, this cannot wait anymore because what I'm going to discuss with you is of the utmost importance."

What is more important than the fact that we can no longer be together?

Song Qingchun slowly and unwittingly pushed Su Zhinian closer and closer to his nightmare. Su Zhinian's eyes dimmed. His lips tensed, and a pleading sound entered his voice involuntarily. "Tingting"

He knew that he was acting dumb, but even if he could have a few more minutes submerged in this beautiful dream, he would fight tooth and nail for it. Su Zhinian's lips moved, and his clear voice was tinged with sadness and melancholy. "Let me brush my te"

He was going to say, Let me brush my teeth first, okay?

However, before he could finish, Song Qingchun cut in hurriedly. "Su Zhinian, don't you feel that audio recording at the anniversary event yesterday was a bit weird? The content of the recording included private conversations between the two of us"

Su Zhinian bit down the words that had reached the tip of his tongue. He stared at the water running out of the faucet for a long time before turning around to say, "Tingting, this is what you wanted to discuss with me?"

Song Qingchun looked at the surprise in his eyes and nodded, slightly confused. After a while, she said, "Yeah."

After receiving the confirmation, Su Zhinian's tense back instantly relaxed, and his expression softened greatly. He grabbed his toothbrush, squirted a reasonable amount of toothpaste on it, and shoved it into his mouth.

As he brushed his teeth, he could not help but grumble internally, I should have expected this; the scammer personality in her just won't rest. Why would she say it's something of the utmost importance? My soul almost escaped due to this scare. Then again, as long as it's not related to the fact that she's turned back to my sister, I suppose I can put this behind me.

With toothpaste hanging on his lips, Su Zhinian's lips curved into a smile.

What is he thinking? Why does he appear so happy when I'm discussing an issue of such importance?

Song Qingchun frowned, staring at the fully relaxed Su Zhinian who seemed disproportionally joyful from an activity as mundane as brushing his teeth. Regardless, she continued. "Furthermore, the recording involves conversations that were taken from more than one location. This means that the recorder or the bug is somewhere close to our bodies, or rather, we've been carrying it"

Su Zhinian, who was about to gargle his mouth with water, frowned when he heard this speculation from Song Qingchun, and his expression turned serious.

The previous night had simply been too eventful. It had caused his brain to be so submerged in joy that he had forgotten about this very important detail!

"Say, do you think the recorder or bug is in your car or your house? Or is it possible that the person who has been spying on us has prepared more than one bug?"

While Song Qingchun mumbled her speculation to herself, Su Zhinian suddenly turned to Song Qingchun like he just remembered something important.

"Where's your phone?"
