"Ares, does your heart ache for me?" Sensing her hand begin to wander, Ares's relaxed body went rigid. He instinctively grabbed Lu Xiao's wrist, his gaze burning as he looked at her. "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"
Heaven knew he had so little resistance to her teasing, yet she just had to…
As his breathing grew ragged, Lu Xiao tried to flee, but the man gave her no such chance...

Early the next morning, Lu Xiao and Teacher Ai Li went to the S-Class Shelter. Lu Xiao could have gone by herself, but when Teacher Ai Li learned she was going to see Regal, she was too worried to let her go alone and insisted on coming along.
Lu Xiao couldn't bring herself to refuse Teacher Ai Li's concern and was deeply touched by it.
