Maya regretted it the moment she knocked on the door. Until now, she and her cellmate did not have the kind of relationship where they could trust each other. Instead of relying on her to save her, she might as well let the people from Building 2 come.
Maya’s eyes narrowed when she heard footsteps coming from not far away. She was about to give up asking Yue Xin for help when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her.
Yue Xin stood at the door expressionlessly. Half of her body was hidden in the darkness. The weak moonlight shone into the room from the window. Only that corner of the room seemed to have color.
Maya’s response was instantaneous. “I’m being hunted,” she said. “Can I come into your room?”
Without thinking, Yue Xin pulled Maya into the room, quickly closed the door, and locked it.
Yue Xin turned on the light in the room. The sudden light made Maya subconsciously cover her eyes.

Guard No. 12.
“Hello, what do you need?”
Yue Xin said, “Someone tried to assassinate me. Kill him.”
It was rare that the other party did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, Number 12 gave Yue Xin an answer other than “Okay” for the first time. “Madam Yue Xin, if I make a move, this matter will be communicated to the people outside.”
Yue Xin’s expression did not change at all. She nodded and continued, “There’s no one outside. Come over immediately.”
Prison Guard No. 12 could only say,”… Okay, I’ll be there in five minutes.”
Yue Xin didn’t seem very satisfied with this answer. “You rushed over in two minutes last time.”
Prison Guard No. 12 was silent again. “I need to prepare a weapon.”
Yue Xin nodded and realized that Prison Guard No. 12 couldn’t see. She said, understand.”
After hanging up, Yue Xin noticed that Maya’s hands and feet were injured. However, she had already done a simple bandage and there was not much blood.
Yue Xin didn’t show any more interest in Maya’s wound. Instead, she said to
Maya, “No. 12 said that he’ll be here in five minutes. You can wait here for No. 12 to deal with the people outside before going back.”
Maya froze as she realized that her prison guard was really going to save her. It was the most incredible thing that had happened to Maya in years. She looked down and smiled. “You saved my life. I owe you. I can give you anything you want.”
Yue Xin blurted out, “Give me milk tea every day.” This was the only thing Yue Xin liked so far. She didn’t want anything else.
Maya froze again. “Is that all?” she asked uncertainly. “Is there nothing else?” Yue Xin asked, “Do you have anything else to give me?”
Maya was stunned by the question. This was the first time she had met someone who was so casual about exchanging benefits. She felt that the two of them were not discussing how much their lives were worth for revenge, but what to eat for breakfast tomorrow. She felt that she had really misjudged Yue Xin. She was used to probing, and sometimes the answers she got might not be true.
“Whatever I can give you,” Maya said, and meant it.

Maya sat on the floor and shook her bandaged hand. “Can I wait until my hand’s better before I brew it?”
Yue Xin nodded. “Okay.” With that, the room fell silent. Yue Xin walked back to the bed and ignored Maya. She crawled back into bed.
Maya looked at Yue Xin’s back and suddenly felt helpless. She couldn’t help but say, “You can’t casually expose your back to others here.”
Yue Xin didn’t move and replied calmly, “I don’t have any talent in fighting.
Even if I don’t expose my back, I won’t be able to win in an assassination.” Maya automatically translated Yue Xin’s words in her mind. She couldn’t beat the enemy anyway. Since she was destined to die, she could do whatever she wanted.
She didn’t take his life seriously. She was a completely different person from the child who was so careful on the first day she came.
Maya couldn’t help but ask, “Is there no one waiting for you out there?”
Maya knew that Yue Xin went to Building 3. From that day onwards, Yue Xin changed. In Maya’s eyes, Yue Xin, who she first met, was a child who wanted to live. She also had her own goals. If such a person changed in a day, she must have received a huge blow.
After Maya asked this question, the room fell silent. After about a minute, Yue
Xin replied in a very soft voice, “No.”
Maya’s heart suddenly felt like it had been stabbed by something. She looked at Yue Xin’s back and felt that she was finally starting to understand this cellmate. She didn’t continue the topic and said, “I didn’t expect you to open the door for me. Thank you..”
