Who!?
Her eyes immediately turned red with fright, and Ge Baitao scrambled to grab her phone to call the police. But just then, a knock sounded on the door.
"Taozi, are you awake?"
Hearing Song Xi's voice, Ge Baitao's legs went weak.
As soon as the door opened, she threw herself into Song Xi's arms and cried, leaving Song Xi flustered.
"What's wrong?"
Tears streamed down her face, and Song Xi's heart ached with her.
Ge Baitao sobbed, wanting to speak, but the words caught in her throat, swallowed by shame.
Finally, she could only choke out, "...Nothing, Xixi."
How could she possibly be fine like this? Song Xi was about to press further, but Ge Baitao bravely stood up on her own, "Xixi, I'm going to take a shower first."
Song Xi looked worried, "Okay, call me if anything happens."
After Ge Baitao went into the bathroom, she immediately turned and called Lou Yuming, "What did Shao Cheng do to Taozi yesterday?"
Her voice trembled slightly with agitation.
Lou Yuming glanced at Shao Cheng, who was sitting opposite him with dark circles under his eyes, and narrowed his gaze. He handed the phone over.
Shao Cheng yawned, "What?"
"Explain it to her yourself."
Shao Cheng put on his glasses and looked at the name "Song Xi" on the screen, his brow furrowing unconsciously.
"Hello?"
Song Xi tried to calm her anger and asked calmly, "Did you bully Taozi?"
"?" Shao Cheng couldn't help but raise his voice, "She bullied me!"
*Knock knock—*
Lou Yuming tapped the table with his knuckles, his face cold, "Watch your words."
"..." Shao Cheng was momentarily speechless. He had only spoken loudly, was that really necessary!
Under Lou Yuming's sharp gaze, Shao Cheng took a deep breath, "Miss Song, I wouldn't do anything to a woman who was drunk, spewing everywhere, and acting wildly."
Hearing this, Song Xi could imagine Taozi's drunken frenzy from yesterday.
"..."
The atmosphere fell silent for a few seconds. Song Xi guiltily hung up the phone, "Sorry to bother you."
Shao Cheng handed the phone back with a dark expression and said coldly, "Aren't you spoiling her a bit too much now?"
Lou Yuming raised an eyebrow, seemingly agreeing.
Shao Cheng snorted, "Song Xi also came after you left yesterday."
"What was she doing at the hospital?" He instantly became interested.
Shao Cheng fell silent, deliberately teasing him.
"It seems like it's almost time to go to work." He glanced at the time and made a move to leave.
Lou Yuming stretched his long legs and blocked his path, "Spill it."
Shao Cheng began to play coy, "I don't know."
A cold glint flashed in Lou Yuming's dark eyes.
Shao Cheng finally surrendered, "She came to see someone."
Lou Yuming's dark eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized, "Ye Tian?"
Shao Cheng shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
"When?" Lou Yuming asked again.
"Right after you left, she came."
Lou Yuming fell into thought. Ye Tian was fine, but Ye Hai was different; he had always had feelings for Song Xi.
He suddenly remembered that Yao Yifan had mentioned Song Xi trending yesterday and had even shown him a photo from the scene.
The photo was taken casually, and even Song Xi's face was blurred, so he had only glanced at it.
Lou Yuming's expression suddenly turned serious. He took out his phone and asked Yao Yifan to send him the photo.
Seeing his terrifying expression, Shao Cheng, with his penchant for gossip, quietly moved behind him.
Shao Cheng had good eyesight and immediately recognized the man protecting Song Xi in the photo, "Ye Hai?"
As soon as he said this, Lou Yuming's already cold gaze became even more chilling.
To make matters worse, Shao Cheng deliberately added fuel to the fire, "I didn't expect him to be interested in talk shows too."
He wasn't interested in talk shows, he was clearly interested in the romantic entanglement!
Lou Yuming's face turned as dark as a pot bottom. He stood up abruptly.
"Where are you going?" Shao Cheng asked knowingly from behind.
Lou Yuming kicked the door shut, his aura emanating intense gloom.
Meanwhile, at the hotel.
Song Xi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Just then, Ge Baitao emerged from the bathroom after her shower.
"Taozi." Song Xi immediately stepped forward.
Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
