"Xiao Xi is upstairs?"

When Zhao Tong heard that voice, he turned and saw Jiang Li standing outside the first-floor lobby. He hadn’t come into the lobby to enjoy the air conditioning and sit on the sofa; instead, he was waiting outside, and it was probably because... Zhao Tong saw the pile of cigarette butts at his feet, which should be the answer to why Jiang Li didn’t enter the lobby.

"That’s... fine." Zhao Tong didn’t refuse, but he couldn’t help himself, "But you..."

Tong took a good while to mull it over, on the verge of speaking out but hesitating, yet finally he couldn’t hold back and asked, "Did you and Ying Xi break
