Lin Bao'er waited for a long while, but when she received no reaction from Shen Lang, she couldn't help but look up. Her gaze immediately fell into a pair of clear, enchanting eyes, like autumn pools rippling so gently they could make one's heart melt.
'She felt as if she'd been seen right through, as if all her dark thoughts were rendered squalid and unbearable by that gaze.'
Then, she heard Shen Lang's lazy voice. "Lin Bao'er, do you... think I look like an idiot?"
Lin Bao'er stiffened slightly, a smile tugging at her lips as she put on an innocent, bewildered look. "...It's fine, it's fine. It was my fault to begin with. It's only right for your family to come looking for me..."
The girl looked like she was on the verge of tears from the injustice. Her eyes were red-rimmed and her slender fingers clutched her skirt. With her gaze lowered, she turned and trotted away.
Shen Huoshui closed her eyes again to rest, ignoring her.
