At this moment, Xu Yuan had just returned to the door of his room and pushed it open.
The moment the door opened, moonlight spilled in and shone on the cool and aloof young girl sitting on the chair.
Upon hearing the noise, Liu Ruoxue quickly lifted her head to look,
and after seeing him safe and sound, Liu Ruoxue sighed with relief.
"The Elder didn't give you a hard time, did she?"
Liu Ruoxue asked.
"No."
Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile, suggesting that rather than her giving him trouble, it was he who had given her a hard time.
He added, "However, I need to go out for a while, and when I come back, she might give me a hard time again."
"Is that so?"
After answering in a subdued voice, Liu Ruoxue suddenly composed herself from her previous anxious look, not looking at him anymore, her eyelids slightly drooping as she quietly stared at the ground.
This abrupt change in her startled Xu Yuan for a moment.
Soon, he realized the reason.
"What's wrong?"
