When An Li rushed to the private room for Qiu Yingying's birthday party, most people had already left.
Qiu Yingying's originally delicately made-up face was now streaked with tears, and the birthday cake sat lonely in the middle of the table. The candles had burned down to the base, leaving a small puddle of wax. It was clear there was no mood for eating.
An Li was aware that Qiu Yingying always had a temper.
An Li casually stopped a female classmate who was about to leave and asked, "Zheng Lin, did Yingying and Zhou Qiao really break up?"
The girl named Zheng Lin was planning to leave but was suddenly stopped by An Li, and she looked displeased.
Zheng Lin vented at An Li, saying, "Nobody wanted this to happen. We were all just trying to comfort her, but she took her anger out on us. How is it our fault? It's not like Zhou Qiao cheated with one of us..."
