The courtyard emptied, leaving only Ji Huan and Guan Shan.
Neither of them spoke for a long time.
Ji Huan was lost in thought. Guan Shan lowered his gaze to where she was holding his arm, his own thoughts a mystery.
Ji Huan came to her senses and quickly withdrew her hand, feeling a bit awkward.
"Well, uh… just think of it as starting your duties early."
It would be dawn soon anyway.
The wanderer didn't seem to object to starting his duties early. He just asked, "You're just going to let them go?"
Ji Huan sighed. "What else could I have done?"
To be honest, she hadn't been completely sure it was Huang Juncai who had pushed her. It was just that his downturned, triangular eyes and his vicious gaze had left such a deep impression.
She still remembered grabbing for the person closest to her as she started to roll down the hill, but her hand had caught nothing but air.
Most of the person's face had been covered, which was why she only remembered their eyes.
