Dusk settled heavily.
Chu Zhengxiong glanced out the window.
The blood-red remnants of the setting sun filled the sky,
splashing across the buildings and making them look as if they were stained with blood.
He turned back and looked at Lin Yi and Wei Nan.
"Alright, it's getting late. You two should head back now!"
"I'll treat you to a meal after I get out of the hospital in a couple of days!"
Lin Yi: "…"
"Hey, what's with that look? I'm being serious.
"Seriously… my entire reputation is in shambles because of you!"
"Before I came to the Old District, I was famous for being sincere and trustworthy! I never went back on my word. But ever since I met you, my reputation has been dragged through the mud again and again!"
"Brother Chu, I'm not the one ruining your reputation, am I?"
"You're the one who offers to treat us to a meal every single time. When have you ever actually followed through?"
