Chi Yue, strictly speaking, the hatred between us was all my doing."
Chi Yue lowered her gaze, and Xu Zhenwen couldn't make out her expression, only hearing her say, "I came to see you today to ask a favor of you. Of course, you have the right to refuse..."

Chi Yue stepped out of the hospital, feeling a significant easing of the emotions that had been weighing on her heart.
She remembered she still had an examination to complete, and upon calculating, it was indeed the day for the check-up.
