Lu Zhan was initially displeased, but his expression softened when he saw how anxious she looked.
He glanced down at the sleeve she was clutching and pursed his lips. "They aren't poisonous. Don't worry."
"How do you know whether they're poisonous or not?" Zhi Wan blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan seemed to understand something. His dark eyes narrowed slightly. "So, you thought I couldn't identify the fruit and just picked it at random? You were afraid it was poisonous, so you threw it away because you didn't dare to eat it?"
Zhi Wan fell silent.
Lu Zhan laughed in exasperation.
After a moment of silence, he said faintly, "It's only right for you to be cautious, Cousin."
Realizing he wasn't blaming her, Zhi Wan looked up. "You're not mad at me, Cousin?"
Lu Zhan gave her a deep look and shook his head. "You don't know me well, so your doubts are understandable. I just hope you maintain this same caution when dealing with others in the future, Cousin."
