Upon entering the room, Li Maonian had already sat down by the inn's bed. Lin Jiaojiao looked around the room and noticed that, besides the bed, there was only a wooden table and a bench to sit on.
After sitting down, she gave Xuemei a signal with her eyes. Xuemei hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly pulled out the wolf-tooth necklace she had been carrying for several days.
She held it in her palm and glanced at Li Maonian, who was sitting upright. His slender hands were gently placed on his thighs, and he didn't appear threatening. However, for some reason, she couldn't help but feel a bit of fear in her heart.
It was probably because she couldn't see his face under the black veil, so she unwittingly conjured up fear of the unknown.
She carried the wolf-tooth necklace over to him, holding it out with both hands as she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the black bamboo hat.
