Under the dark blue sky, faint moonlight shone down on two young people with very different feelings.
Bi Fan rubbed his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't expected himself to make such an affectionate gesture toward the girl without thinking. Maybe because they spent every day together, he'd forgotten that they were still a man and a woman.
He gave a quiet cough and said apologetically, "Sorry, little girl. I don't know why I suddenly..."
His explanation only made Ling Xiaoxiao more embarrassed. She lowered her head and muttered irritably, "Oh, please! What are you thinking about all day?"
