"Did you forget something?"
Looking into Su Gao's seemingly expressive eyes, Fu Qian took the initiative to ask.
"Yes, I'm really sorry."
The latter responded naturally, but his tone hardly carried any sense of apology.
"It's no problem; I'll accompany you to get it."
Fu Qian, ever so gentlemanly, waved his hand and then glanced back at the three people catching up with one another.
"You guys go ahead; no need to wait for us."
Seeing Kagetsu Kana somewhat reluctant, he pointed to Takagi's neck.
"He's injured and shouldn't stay outside for too long."
...
Faced with this irrefutable reason, Kagetsu Kana found herself at a loss for words.
"You're injured?"
At that moment, Takagi's friend seemed to notice his condition for the first time, exclaiming in surprise and looking at Kana somewhat awkwardly, as if suspecting she might have been the one who hit him.
It wasn't unreasonable for him to overthink it, mainly because Takagi's demeanor had indeed been a bit off!
