Both of them exchanged glances silently.
Xia Ling's mind was a blank as she stood in his line of sight as if it was a line of fire. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and that was when she heard a voice at the back of her head: Xia Ling, what are you afraid of? Walk over, you didn't do anything wrong, he's the one who's let you down.
With that thought, she took a deep breath and walked over with her head up.
She walked by Pei Ziheng.
The doorway wasn't too wide, and she brushed against her shoulder.
All of a sudden, Pei Ziheng grabbed her. "Xia Ling," he said solemnly, "you owe me an explanation."
