Looking at that flickering light into the distance, the corners of Xia Fei's lips curled to form a strange smirk.
Silently slipping over to Avril's side, he used his hand to cover her mouth.
The coarse hand was a sharp contrast to Avril's soft and delicate skin. She abruptly opened her eyes as her pupils constricted in shock and complete puzzlement.
"Do you trust me?" asked Xia Fei in a hushed voice.
Avril did not understand what Xia Fei meant, nodding her head blankly.
"Good. I will now be taking you away from here. Can you stay quiet?" Xia Fei released his hand from her mouth as he asked this question.
"You're taking me away? Then, will I still be coming back?" Avril asked, confused.
Xia Fei did not know whether to laugh or cry at Avril's naivety. "It's only for a few days. You'll come back very soon."
"Oh." Avril could not explain why this revelation actually made her slightly disappointed.
