Shen Yuan's expression went from confusion to shock, then froze into a picture of utter disbelief.
His eyes were wide, his mouth hung slightly agape, and he seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. All that remained were the comical lines on his face, dancing to a taunting rhythm against the black-and-white-painted canvas of his skin.

"Ha... haha... *pant*... W-What? I didn't do a thing!"
The young woman was laughing so hard she could barely breathe, her voice trembling as she forced an innocent tone.
