Cheng Xingxing sat on pins and needles, completely unaware of how she had managed to walk out or even how she had gotten into the police car. Sitting in the back row next to Liu Yiyi, Cheng Xingxing looked utterly out of place. By contrast, the person beside her had her legs crossed, one hand tapping idly against her chin as if deep in thought, looking entirely at ease and unconcerned. Xingxing felt a strong urge to remind her that this was a police car, not a private vehicle.
Liu Yiyi was indeed deep in thought. Events had strayed far from their expected trajectory. Her original plan was to have Cheng Xingxing's parents come to the police station to take her back—she had even arranged for someone to invite them. Yet the police station turned out to have connections with those people and had acted with astonishing speed.

"Yiyi, um... thank you!" Cheng Xingxing said, lowering her head and looking at her with a trace of embarrassment.
