How had she not noticed? When had he become so proud yet gentle, and such a smooth talker?
He left her so disarmed she couldn't even utter a word of rejection.
The night in Ancient Town was exceptionally beautiful.
Even the moon seemed as if it had been scooped up from the water, so gentle.
Moonlight, like water, poured quietly upon both of them.
Nan Xi and Lu Jianshen walked side by side towards the old house, both very quiet, as if by some tacit agreement, neither spoke.
"Ah…" Suddenly, Nan Xi exclaimed.
Lu Jianshen quickly reached out to grab her hand, steadying her.
It turned out there was a potholed area on the downhill path, which Nan Xi hadn't noticed and almost tripped over.
After stabilizing herself, Nan Xi gently withdrew her hand from Lu Jianshen's grip, and politely said, "Thank you!"
In all fairness, Lu Jianshen should have simply said, "You're welcome."
