He had a faint smile playing on the corners of his mouth, and said slowly, "I saw her."
"Really? How come I didn't see her?!" Huo Yirong couldn't sit still anymore, getting up and scanning outside the window.
Huo Yunjiao propped his head up with one hand, his refined handsome face bearing a difficult to discern complex expression.
Under circumstances where neither of them were prepared, he had briefly encountered and gazed at Qin Ruan.
The surprise in her beautiful eyes, the dazzling light which blossomed at the bottom of her eyes, made him realize something.
She recognized him, and even seemed to… expect him?
Third Master Huo didn't know how to describe the sudden bright light that shone in Qin Ruan's eyes when she saw him, amidst her previously calm and numb gaze.
It wasn't plotting and greed, nor was it a unique kind of affection.
It was, instead, as if she had found a companion she could trust.
Huo Yunjiao found his conjecture to be amusing.
