Seeing Ge Ba in the defendant's dock—so familiar yet so strange—Su Li's heart was a mess of complicated emotions.
When Ge Ba saw Su Li, his face was expressionless.
The feigned affection from before had vanished without a trace.
The case proceeded smoothly according to procedure, but Su Li left midway through.
Wu Sheng was the one who escorted her out, leading her away before the homeless men were brought to the stand.
This was the first time they had seen each other in days, not since Wu Sheng had been taken away.
Su Li looked Wu Sheng over, from head to toe.
"Are you okay? You look like you've lost weight."
Wu Sheng let Su Li study him. He reached out, intending to stroke her face, but just as his hand was about to touch her, he changed his mind and gently patted her head instead.
"It's not me who's lost weight, it's you."
They had both lost weight. But thankfully, everything was about to be over.
Wu Sheng gazed at Su Li, unable to look away.
