By a riverbank. . .
Yang Wei and Mu Lingxi sat together.
Mu Lingxi's face was flushed, her heart racing. All she could think about was their hug and how Yang Wei responded to it. As she glanced over at him, her eyes sparkled brightly, similar to Mu Lin's.
In a way, when Yang Wei looked at her and saw this strong feminine side, he glimpsed Mu Lin for a moment.
After the peaceful silence settled a bit more, Mu Lingxi spoke up.
"Uh, well... I haven't seen you in a long time, so... I was quite worried. I guess when I finally saw your face again, I lost my manners for a moment."
She fixed her hair to look presentable, but she was already stunning no matter how it was styled.
Yang Wei shook his head gently. "No, it's all good. Your hug made me feel really welcomed. I've been away from the sect for a while, so seeing you still being you made me really happy."
