"Bai Wu, lift up your head and look at me," he instructed.

"I told you, I will never abandon you. Do not mention it so easily ever again, do you hear me?"

Xu Lan's interrogative voice was not very amicable. The cattail leaf fan-like eyelashes still had teardrops on it, accentuating his fire-glazed eyes, making them appear crystal clear.
"I heard you," Bai Wu answered with a pouty mouth.
