Xia Qingrou was somewhat startled, and she frantically wiped the other's eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it... I won't say it anymore, I won't say it!"
Han Muxue opened Xia Qingrou's hands, turned her face away, and said softly, "It has nothing to do with you."
Xia Qingrou gently hummed in response, feeling somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Han Muxue didn't speak either, just resumed the paused cartoon, and it started playing again.
They continued watching the cartoon in silence, not uttering a single word throughout.
"...I'm sorry."
A long, long time passed, until an episode of the cartoon ended and the ending theme played, Han Muxue finally spoke softly.
Xia Qingrou awkwardly said, "It's okay, it's my fault, hehe, I talk too much..."
Another silence followed, and although Han Muxue was staring at the "Magic Girl" on the screen, her pupils were dilated, clearly not focused on the cartoon.
