His tone might have been indifferent, but his expression betrayed a hint of pride.
"You were practicing techniques with her?" Quan Shaoqing felt an unwarranted surge of wariness. He approached Gu Xiaoxi and realized she was in a deep sleep.
Apparently, her spiritual power had been overexerted.
He quickly took off his coat to cover her and afterward, he turned his gaze toward Ya.
A man's intuition is always straightforward, especially regarding matters of the heart.
Ya's behavior struck him as odd, and also aroused a sense of crisis within him.
The two men stood under the big tree where Gu Xiaoxi was lying, speechless.
Or perhaps they didn't know what to say to each other.
"Thank you for helping her, you're just friends, right?" Quan Shaoqing was the first to break the awkward silence.
Ya helping Gu Xiaoxi was not wrong, but he didn't want their interactions to be tainted with other emotions.
For a moment, Ya was at a loss for words and could only nod.
