After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 82 Stay Forever

"Don't think about running away."

In the next instant, the situation shifted. Lin Xingzhu's right hand, which she had extended, was suddenly trapped tightly in Bai Xiying's grip. Lin Xingzhu suspected that if there were handcuffs nearby, her right wrist would be securely locked.

Lin Xingzhu trembled slightly, her lips parting: "What are you saying?"

Bai Xiying's expression darkened, though a slight satisfaction flashed in her eyes as Lin Xingzhu, unguarded and unresisting, seemed to become more vulnerable. But she was still very angry.

Bai Xiying muttered, her voice barely audible: "You sneaked away while I was asleep. I'm very angry."

"I did inform you, but you were sleeping," Lin Xingzhu explained quickly.

Bai Xiying ignored her explanation. "You secretly went to meet someone else... You met Wen Lin, didn't you?"

"The Wen Lin from the same place as you."

Bai Xiying's voice was cold as she uttered these words, her lips biting down tightly.

Lin Xingzhu's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Bai Xiying to react so strongly.

Instinctively, Lin Xingzhu tried to pull her hand away from Bai Xiying's tight grip, but her right hand remained clenched in Bai Xiying's fist, and her neck was still caught in her hold. The slightest movement would alert Bai Xiying.

"I—I can explain," Lin Xingzhu stammered, "There's a reason I went to see her."

Bai Xiying's eyes darkened as she stared at her.

Lin Xingzhu met her gaze, which seemed like a bottomless abyss: "I went to meet her to understand you better. Only by identifying the root of the problem can we solve the issues between us."

To her surprise, those words seemed to touch a sensitive nerve in Bai Xiying. A cold, dangerous smile curled on her lips, and her eyes darkened with what felt like an impending storm. "But shouldn't you be the one who understands me the most?" she asked, her voice tinged with both accusation and bitterness, as if the question echoed through every world they came from.

Bai Xiying tilted her head slightly, her eyes never leaving Lin Xingzhu.

Lin Xingzhu: "..."
