In an elegant cafe.
Lu Jia’er and Yu Fang sat face to face by the window. They could see the vehicles and crowds on the street in their peripheral vision.
There was a glass of orange juice and a cup of ice cream on the table. Lu Jia’er saw that Yu Fang didn’t eat. She couldn’t help but say, “The ice cream is going to melt. Eat it!”
Yu Fang was still somewhat restrained. She glanced at Lu Jia’er and slowly grabbed the spoon and started eating ice cream. Lu Jia’er looked at her quietly. Aside from when they met and exchanged a few greetings, she kept silent. Lu Jia’er heard a lot of inner voices from within Yu Fang.
When Lu Jia’er saw Yu Fang in front of her, her mood was complicated. The average person would definitely give sympathy to a young girl who had been innocent despite being accused of a crime, Lu Jia’er did not.
Yu Fang had a few mouthfuls and stopped. Looking at Lu Jia’er, she said shyly, “Professor Lu, I’m sorry for accidentally hurting you last time at the detention center!”
“After you’re freed, have you paid your sister a visit?” Lu Jia’er gazed at her and slowly said.
“Yes, I have!” Yu Fang eyes gleamed and then remained calm.
“Has she started receiving treatment?” Lu Jia’er picked up the juice and asked Yu Fang casually.
“They said that treatment will start next week!” Yu Fang replied.
“What do you think of it!” Lu Jia’er looked at Yu Fang and asked.
Yu Fang was surprised and then said sadly, “I hope my sister will recover soon!”
“Do you really think so?” Lu Jia’er put down the juice glass in her hand and looked directly at Yu Fang.
“She is my sister. I hope she can get better soon more fervently than anyone else!” Yu Fang said.
Lu Jia’er’s eyes became colder and colder, then she said, “Actually, you don’t!”
Yu Fang’s eyes gleamed with panic and she stuttered, “Professor Lu, what… what do you mean by that?”
“You know very well what I mean!” Lu Jia’er said in a cold tone.
Yu Fang became panicked at the change of Lu Jia’er’s expression and tone. But she quickly returned to normal. “I don’t”
In the face of Yu Fang’s answer Lu Jia’er said, “A just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust cause finds little! Don’t go too far or eventually nobody will come to your aid!”
Yu Fang had an innocent look while blinking like a naive child. “Professor Lu, what you have said is deep. I don’t understand!”
Lu Jia’er’s eyes were sharp as she said, “While it’s not too late, I hope you can make the right choice!”
After Yu Fang listened, although she was afraid of Lu Jia’er’s eyes, she forced herself to keep eye contact with her, “Professor Lu, please put it plainly!”
“You believe that you are very smart, don’t you?” Professor Lu said.
“Professor Lu, thank you for the compliment!” Yu Fang curled her lips and smiled. The smile appeared bright, but gave a gloomy feeling.
“Do you think it is a compliment?” Lu Jia’er asked.
“Professor Lu, you praised me. If you say so then I must be smart!” Yu Fang replied.
Although there was a sense of disconnect when communicating with children nowadays, Yu Fang was far too conceited.
“Just don’t forget that the clever may fall victim to their cleverness!” said Lu Jia’er.
