Coincidentally, Xu Jiaojiao did not have class today, so she finished her painting at home.

At noon, she finally took the painting to the art gallery, but unfortunately, she could not find Huo Siming anywhere.

After asking the staff, she found out that Huo Siming had waited from the afternoon until late at night yesterday. Before he left, he told the staff to throw the painting away.

“Where did you throw it?” Xu Jiaojiao’s face was filled with anxiety.

“I threw it into the trash can in the back alley,” the staff informed her.

Xu Jiaojiao took a deep breath and hurriedly turned around to go to the back alley.

This was a place specially used to store trash cans. There were about a dozen of them. In the summer, this place was even more smelly.

However, Xu Jiaojiao did not care and started rummaging through the nearest trash can.

After flipping through the trash a few times, a lot of flies swarmed around her. The smell was really unpleasant. Xu Jiaojiao wanted to vomit a few times, but she did not want to give up like this, so she straightened her body and continued to search.

There was no classification of the trash here. Everything was mixed together, from junk to food scraps. The leftover takeout was especially disgusting.

It was summer, and the sun was scorching hot. Xu Jiaojiao’s back was drenched in sweat, and her clothes were soon drenched, sticking to her body. It was very uncomfortable.

She searched eight or nine cans in a row with her weak arms, but she could not find it at all.

Exhausted, she did not care about the mess and sat on the ground.

“You gave up so quickly? It seems that you don’t like it much.” A cold voice suddenly came from beside her. Even in this hot summer, she could not help but shiver.

Xu Jiaojiao looked up and met Huo Siming’s eyes. There seemed to be no emotion in his eyes, and his facial features were exceptionally cold.

“Huo Siming!” Xu Jiaojiao was extremely excited to see him.

Her attitude did not improve his. “Who are you? Do we know each other?”

Xu Jiaojiao knew that he was angry. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I missed our appointment because I had something particularly important to do yesterday.” Then, she bowed deeply to him.

However, he did not seem to buy it. “If apologizing solves everything, why do we need the police?”

“Regardless, I still have to apologize to you. It’s my fault, so I have to admit it.” Xu Jiaojiao did not care if he accepted it or not. In any case, she was in the wrong, so she apologized first. “Still, I just broke my promise. I don’t think it has anything to do with the police, right?”
