After three days of being admitted in the hospital, Wendy was finally discharged the day after. She barely handled breathing the irritating smell of antiseptics and eating the bland food so it was absolutely a torture staying there for three days straight.

“Shut up, Chou Tzuyu!” Wendy pinned Tzuyu with a slight glare, but failed at hiding her tiny smile. 

“What? I didn’t say something wrong, did I?” Tzuyu remarked innocently before retreating back munching on her
