Bai Xiao walked with her head down, moving very slowly. The hood of her down jacket had slipped off, and she didn't notice.
Ye Huang was in a good mood, his mind filled with thoughts of Ye Li. After a while, he noticed her unusual behavior, stopped, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Bai Xiao shook her head and continued walking forward.
"What are you worried about?" Ye Huang pulled her to a stop, reaching out to pinch her face, his voice gentle, "Afraid that I'll be in danger in Country C?"
"It's not that," Bai Xiao still shook her head, "Because I'll be going with you! Whatever it is, we'll face it together."
Ye Huang furrowed his brows, puzzled, "Then what's really the matter?"
"Ye Huang, these past years have been tough for you, haven't they?" Bai Xiao's voice was very low, fearing to touch a sore spot.
