"Why, why? I was the first, the first to know you and the first to like you. I can stand not winning against Tangmo and Baiyue, but why can't I even compete with those from Otherworld?"
Shangguan Jiu suddenly stopped in her tracks, standing still with her head bowed low. Luo'er braked suddenly, nearly crashing into her. Seeing her downcast figure, Luo'er didn't know what to say, feeling as though his heart was in chaos.
"Are you okay?" Luo'er tentatively asked.
"When you all went on your mission, I was alone in the academy worrying about you. From the moment I heard gunshots to the moment you returned, my heart never eased." After a moment of silence, Shangguan Jiu murmured, her head still bowed low.
"You did a great job." Luo'er didn't know what to say, so he could only reply in agreement.
"I'm worried about everyone, but the person I'm most worried about is you!" Shangguan Jiu continued, her voice becoming choked with tears.
