RedHotLover:Did you hear?
RedHotLover:Rumor is Nix was caught cheating. Bet your perfect West is pissed. Guess you’re happy about it, huh?
Huodou:What’s there to be happy about?
RedHotLover:Nix is about to get kicked out. Probably beaten to a pulp first as well. What do you mean? Unless…you haven’t fallen for him too, have you?
Huodou:You’re being ridiculous again.
RedHotLover:That’s not a no. You can’t be serious? What, were you hoping they’d make you their Fifth or something? So you could finally be with your precious West?
Huodou:I honestly hadn’t considered it, but…That’s not an entirely bad idea. Thank you, Dew. Perhaps I’ve been going about this the wrong way.
RedHotLover:What?
RedHotLover:Don’t you dare.
RedHotLover:Beck, if you try and seduce Nix I’ll never forgive you!
Huodou:You just said he got caught being unfaithful, didn’t you? What’s there to worry about? There’s no way he’ll be forgiven for that, even with a claiming mark.

RedHotLover:They forgave him.

RedHotLover:Are you okay?

RedHotLover:I’m sorry you’re sad, Professor.
RedHotLover:I’ll make it better. I promise.
Huodou:I’m not in the mood right now, Dew.
RedHotLover:I know. Don’t worry. I don’t mean sex.
Huodou:What are you planning to do then?
Huodou:Dew?
Huodou:Dew, don’t do anything rash.
Huodou:I’m warning you. I’ll never forgive you if you do something foolish. If my relationship with West is compromised because of you, I’ll never see you again, do you understand?
Huodou:If you ruin things between West and me, we’re over. For good.
Huodou:Tell me what you’re up to.
Huodou:Don’t think I won’t kill you. Your life belongs to me.
Huodou:Damn it, Dew! Respond!
