'Angry...'
"I'm not angry," Gu Ning said. "I'm..."
Scared.
Gu Ning wrote the word on the paper, sharing it honestly with Alex.
She already understood the rules of this world and the reason why Beastmen detested Mimic Mixed Species. How could she really blame Alex?
Back then, they both had their reasons, things they couldn't bring themselves to say.
Now that everything was out in the open, and with her current situation being relatively clear, she had a more defined goal. She wasn't dwelling on the matter anymore.
But upon reflection, she did feel a certain awkwardness deep down.
'So, am I angry with Alex?'
'I don't think so, but I can't explain this awkward feeling, this constant urge to avoid Alex's gaze.'
When Alex saw the word Gu Ning had written, "Scared," it felt like a heavy blow to his heart.
