Xi Jiu looked pained and asked softly, "Baby, are you tired?"
"Not really, just a little bit," Ruan Qi tilted her head, rubbing her cheek against the man's palm, "But thinking of going on a mission with you, I'm all energized."
The girl's eyes had a trace of bloodshot, but they were exceptionally bright.
She looked at Xi Jiu with anticipation, causing his heart to tremble, a sour swelling spreading through his chest.
"Baby," he blurted out, "I don't want you to go."
The smile on Ruan Qi's face faded a bit as she looked at him and asked, "Are you worried about danger?"
Xi Jiu made a soft sound of acknowledgment.
"The X Organization is mysterious and strange, I don't want you to be in danger. Baby, stay home, okay?"
After he asked, the air grew silent.
Everyone tensed, waiting for Ruan Qi's response.
Ruan Qi raised her head, looked into Xi Jiu's eyes for a while.
"No!" she finally spoke.
Xi Jiu, helpless: "Baby..."
