"You—"
"Come with me first."
Her friend pulled Xi Anya over to the side.
Taking a deep breath, her friend shouted, "Are you an idiot?"
Xi Anya froze.
"Even little kids don't make that mistake anymore."
"That was so dangerous."
"You were lucky today—you ran into a driver who was good at his job, so nothing happened. Otherwise..."
Her friend grew angrier with every word.
And more shaken, too.
"I'm sorry."
When her friend stopped to catch her breath, Xi Anya obediently apologized.
"I scared you, didn't I?"
"I'm really sorry."
Her sincere expression made it hard for her friend to keep up her reproachful look. "...You."
Her friend sighed helplessly.
"You nearly scared me to death."
She'd almost thought...
"I'm sorry."
Xi Anya lowered her head.
"All right, all right."
Her friend shook her head. "As long as you're okay."
"But—"
Her friend spoke each word slowly. "Remember this lesson."
"Don't do it again."
"Mm."
Xi Anya nodded.
"It won't happen again."
"Good."
Her friend nodded, satisfied.
"So..."
She looked at Xi Anya's hand. "Why did you suddenly run into the street just now?"
"Did you see something?"
"You seemed to be picking something up, right?"
"Mm."
Xi Anya raised her hand. "This."
"..."
Her friend's silence didn't make Xi Anya feel strange.
She thought her friend was simply stunned.
She had been, too.
"Pretty, isn't it?"
A hint of fascination showed on Xi Anya's face. "I wonder what bird this feather came from."
"It's so beautiful."
Her friend still didn't agree with her.
"Hui Hui?"
Xi Anya looked at her in confusion. "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"An An."
Sensing something strange in her friend's tone, Xi Anya furrowed her brows slightly, her eyes filling with confusion. "Hui Hui?"
"Are you okay?"
Her friend's question
