Hui Yue sat alone, holding her hair with one hand, recalling the words Yu Bai had just said to her, feeling as if the warmth from his hand still lingered on the back of her hand.
Song Ling approached Hui Yue, looking left and right, and suddenly jumped in front of Hui Yue to scare her: "Hui Yue, what are you thinking about?"
Hui Yue was startled, saw Song Ling before her, clutched her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, complaining to her: "You nearly scared me to death!"
Song Ling grinned mischievously, reached out to pat her and asked: "What were you just thinking about? So absorbed?"
Hui Yue shook her head lightly to deny: "I wasn't thinking about anything." In truth, her mind was full of Yu Bai, and she shyly scratched her head.
Song Ling asked curiously: "What did you ask Aunt Pei Wen today? Why did you come back so late?"
"Nothing much, just some questions about medical theory and pharmacology," Hui Yue replied.
