After Song Lan announced his identity as a good person, their eye contact lasted for more than ten seconds.
Then Anjing's gaze drifted away once more, her face full of disbelief.
Although she had mentally prepared herself before coming, Anjing's quietness still far exceeded Song Lan's expectations. Lu Xiang said that Anjing had been brought over early in the morning and stayed in the rest room since her arrival, silent as a wooden figure without uttering a single word.
Lu Xiang tried several times to communicate with Anjing, but all attempts failed.
It seemed that aside from Qi He, this young girl was not comfortable communicating with anyone else.
From a medical perspective, this is a typical reaction after long-term thought-correction therapy. Song Lan did not intend to force Anjing because apart from being reticent, strong external stimuli could potentially trigger her stress response.
