"Just like this?" Lin Xiaolu looked slightly puzzled.
"Just like this," Mimosa was quite certain, "I'll count to three, and then you can close your eyes."
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
After counting to three, as the words fell, Mimosa paused for a bit but did not immediately open her eyes.
She merely maintained her eyes closed and asked again, "Bai Mei, can you hear me?"
No one responded.
"I am Mimosa, can you hear me?" Just to be safe, she asked again.
Still no sound.
By now, Mimosa had her answer and no longer delayed, opening her eyes once more.
This time, when she opened her eyes, she saw the magical girl in a light blue dress, sitting on her knees with her eyes closed, right in front of her.
Without a doubt, this was Bai Mei, whom she recognized.
What her eyes saw and ears heard, and what her intuition felt, every sign told her that this indeed was the colleague and junior from her Fangting City team.
"Bai Mei," so she called out gently once more.
