"Alright, I'll accompany you," Zhou Ling's voice was barely more than a whisper, yet it resonated deeply within Liao Ning's heart.
She gazed up at him with a sparkle of excitement in her eyes, and Zhou Ling responded with an affectionate chuckle. "I can't let you face danger alone, especially in your mother's house. If it were me, I'd stay too."
Liao Ning's heart swelled with warmth, but she hesitated before asking, "Aren't you curious about my background? I might have a hidden past, perhaps even a connection to sea demons or something…"
She paused, struggling to find the right words. While she trusted Zhou Ling, she couldn't reveal anything about the system, at least not yet.
Zhou Ling's reassuring smile remained unchanged as he took a step closer, wrapping his arms around her. "None of that matters. You are you, and that's all I need to know."
