Xia Xiaosu stood up immediately.
"I'll go with you."
She was like a little tail, unwilling to leave.
Or rather, she had guessed her brother's temper and knew that this was not a matter of going for a walk.
Xia Ji glanced at her and didn't say anything. " Let's wait for the day then. "
The two of them sat back in front of the bonfire. The bonfire was not for warmth, but for some light in the darkness to dispel the shadows in one's heart.
Xia Ji looked at the flames, his mind in a daze.
" What's the arrangement for tomorrow? " Xia Qingxuan asked softly.
" You guys stay here, " Xia Ji said. " I'll go out and check. " Little Su, although you're strong now, you still don't have enough combat experience."
"Who said that?" The Empress was unconvinced.
