Nuwa turned her head and glanced at the man.
But the moment their eyes met, the man bashfully turned away.
He pretended to be completely unaware and looked around.
For a moment, Nuwa was puzzled.
She gave the man a long look, then turned back around.
She continued meditating with her eyes closed.
Li Xuan quietly let out a breath of relief and grinned.
Then he looked at the other seats.
Beside Nuwa sat none other than Hong Yun.
The seats were arranged in rows: six in the first,
eight in the second,
ten in the third,
and so on.
Thus, the six seats in the first row
were already full.
Zhen Yuanzi sat right behind Hong Yun,
in the seventh seat.
All the other seats were empty.
Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurried over.
Smiling, he nodded to the impassive Zhen Yuanzi, then walked past him.
He plopped down directly in the eighth seat.
Because the eighth seat
was right behind Nuwa.
Though the seats were about a zhang apart,
as he watched Nuwa sitting before him, her long hair draped over her shoulders,
Li Xuan felt as though he could smell the faint, alluring fragrance coming from her.
He grinned with delight, wanting to laugh but too embarrassed to do so.
