Xia Ningxing added, "Let's walk one behind the other, so as not to give people the wrong idea."
Since Lu Tingli wore a hat and a mask to hide his identity and claimed to be allergic to willow catkins, nobody suspected anything.
"Whatever you say," Lu Tingli had no objections, smiling as he looked at her, "You go first, and I'll watch you."
After exchanging a glance with him, Xia Ningxing started walking out.
