Zero: "Eyes?..."
Xiaoqi said earnestly, "Yes, I once read in a book that eyes are the windows to the soul."
"Everyone else's eyes here are so cold, it makes people uncomfortable just looking at them."
"Your eyes, though always a bit dull, are particularly beautiful~ I think you must have a beautiful heart as well, it's just that others and even yourself haven't realized it yet."
Zero lowered her head, feeling a bit at a loss.
Xiaoqi pulled Zero up to stand, and laughed, "Come on, let's go wash off the dirt on you, and then it's time for sleep~"
It's pre-bedtime now, and there are guards patrolling the hallway.
Seeing someone moving, the guard walked over with a stern face, "What?"
"Good evening, sir." Xiaoqi politely bowed to the guard, flashing a sweet smile, "Can I take Zero for a bath?"
The guard glanced at them, didn't say much, and pointed back: "Be back before lights out."
"Thank you, sir!" Xiaoqi bowed again to the guard, then led Zero towards the communal bathroom.
