Jian Ci flinched. "Okay, seriously. What did I do?" He assumed it was because he hadn't invited her to the nightclub. But she was a minor. It wasn't like he could have brought her even if he wanted to.

Jian Rui calmly passed him a glass of water. "Drink this. We wouldn't want you to die here."
Jian Wei, mid-cough, rasped, "Thanks."
