The girl saw her smile, slowly calming down, and then stared at her for a while, also presenting her with a smile.
The first meeting between people is often about first impressions, and Xia Wan'an took quite a liking to this girl. So, unlike her usual reluctance to engage with strangers, she said to her, "My name is Xia Wan'an, what's yours?"
The girl didn't respond, only smiling at her again.
Seeing that the girl was unwilling to respond, Xia Wan'an didn't continue the conversation.
The girl pointed at the seat next to Xia Wan'an. Xia Wan'an guessed that the girl was asking if she could sit there. Xia Wan'an didn't refuse. She lightly nodded at the girl, who seemed quite pleased and gave her a radiant smile, then sat down next to her.
Since the girl didn't seem to want to talk, Xia Wan'an stayed silent, too.
The two sat there in silence.
Before long, a series of footsteps sounded from behind them.
