'Besides, the assassin tried to kill herself, and he was the one who stopped her. That shows he had nothing to do with it. But if he knew all along that I wouldn't use poison at the banquet, then why did he bring me? Clearly, the 'test' theory doesn't hold up...'
Lu Xiu watched Liang Wan, her brow furrowed in confusion, and just shook his head with a faint smile. 'That much hasn't changed,' he thought. 'Still so full of energy.'
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Don't tell me you knew all along—"
A sudden warmth on her lips made Liang Wan freeze. He had leaned down, his lips stopping the rest of her words.

Lu Xiu leaned back in his seat as if nothing had just happened.
Liang Wan quietly averted her gaze and steadied her breath.
