Alex was very touched. “Thank you, Aya. I feel so much better.”

Yue Xin was puzzled.

No.12 was speechless.

One dared to comfort, and the other dared to listen.

The few of them walked noisily on the road to the prison. Only then did Yue Xin realize that the wind in the prison was actually sweet. She seemed to suddenly understand what Yi Chengxuan meant by feelings that had nothing to do with scheming.

“By the way, boss, the warden brought you something today. You weren’t around, so he asked me to pass it to you. The warden even scolded me. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Damn it!” Alex was even angrier. Everything was because of the warden. Otherwise, how could he have ended up with nothing!

Yue Xin said indifferently, “What is it?”

Alex took out a very small plastic bag from his pocket. Inside the plastic bag was an earring stud. The diamond inside shone brightly. He handed the bag to Yue Xin and said, “This is it. The warden said that it was made from Su Yu’s ashes. Before Su Yu died, he said that he wanted to give it to you. He also said that you can do whatever you want with it.”

Yue Xin looked at the ear stud in Alex’s hand and didn’t respond for a long time. Just as Alex thought that Yue Xin didn’t hear him clearly and was about to say it again, Yue Xin took the bag, opened it, took out the ear stud, and pressed it to her ear.

Yue Xin was very fast. Before No. 12 could stop her, Yue Xin’s earlobe was already bleeding.

Mi Aya was a little frightened and did not dare to speak.

Alex was at a loss.

No. 12 took out a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped the blood off Yue Xin’s hand. “I’ll help you disinfect it when we get back later.”

Yue Xin didn’t respond and let No.12 wipe her.

After a while, she suddenly said, “Go look for Fiona and buy all the information about Su Yu. All of it.

After receiving Yue Xin’s order, No. 12 went to Building No. 3. Using his talent as a prison guard to gossip, he successfully forced Fiona, who had just finished her skincare and was about to sleep, to the reception room on the 36th floor. He then bought the information Yue Xin wanted in a very “friendly” manner.

Yue Xin brought Mi Aya and Alex back to Building No.7. The three of them did not speak along the way.

Yue Xin was thinking about something. The other two were frightened by the dangerous aura emitted by Yue Xin just now.

The two of them were people who had experienced life and death. Their survival instincts told them that their boss was in a very dangerous mood and could not be approached. Hence, the two of them obediently shut up and followed behind Yue Xin. The atmosphere was very oppressive. This oppressive atmosphere lasted until the three of them returned to Building No.7.

As soon as he reached the entrance of Building No. 7, Alex saw his mattress, pink sweater, and blue scarf placed at the entrance of the building! Alex was overjoyed! For a moment, he forgot that his boss was in a bad mood. He slid to his knees and rushed to Yue Xin, shouting, “Boss, I will always be loyal to you!”

The prisoner of Building No. 7 who passed by said,”Did you see that? If you just train your muscles and not your brain, you will become like Alex.”

Yue Xin looked at the people who were muttering around and those people immediately fell silent. Only then did she say to Alex, “I like the sweater you gave me very much. Take these as a return gift.”

If Yi Chengxuan lost, the term “reciprocity” could easily be interpreted as an exchange of benefits. However, in fact, this term referred to the importance of reciprocity in etiquette. It also referred to the way the other party treated him and his attitude towards him.

In the interaction between people, people should help each other and treat each other with courtesy. The essence of courtesy was actually to be humble and respect others. You gave blessings to others, and others thanked you. This was not a formal courtesy, but sincere and respectful gesture from the bottom of your heart.

Yue Xin thought that although Alex was reluctant just now, he still chose the white sweater in the end. At that moment, what was the feeling in her heart? It should be the same as what Alex was feeling now, right? Reciprocity. So that was what it meant. I’ll treat you the way you treat me.

“Aya, Alex, let’s go back.”

Mi Aya said, “Coming, boss!”

Alex said, “Okay!”

The atmosphere returned to normal.

No.12 quickly sorted out all the information and handed it to Yue Xin.

Not long after, it was Christmas again.

While most people in prison were enjoying Christmas, Yue Xin was at Yi Chengxuan’s to learn how to write couplets.

Yi Chengxuan knew a lot of fonts. No matter which type of font it was, he could write something that belonged to him.

Yue Xin was grinding ink for Yi Chengxuan beside him. She also observed Yi Chengxuan’s writing, strokes, trends, and strength up close.

Yi Chengxuan stood in front of the table with a brush in his hand. His strokes were like clouds and flowing water in one go. His rare beauty was slender, narrow, and well-defined. When he exerted strength, he looked like a beautiful piece of art..
