"Hey, hey..."
The girl didn't respond, so Qing Ji frowned.
Human hearing really was terrible.
It complained to itself again.
Though it wasn't very willing to—
Qing Ji reached out and tapped the girl.
"Hey!"
A high-pitched voice exploded beside her ear.
The girl jerked her head up.
Wh-what?!
Then...
The panic on the girl's pale face gradually gave way to confusion.
Huh...
It seemed...
The girl sat in her seat, dazed.
She didn't feel so awful anymore?
Really!
The girl unconsciously took deep breaths.
She didn't feel awful anymore!
A delighted smile spread across her face.
The corners of her mouth nearly reached her ears.
"Such a silly girl."
Qing Ji looked disgusted.
Girl: ?!
She instinctively looked toward the voice.
"...It's you?!"
It was the person she'd wanted to point out to her brother earlier—the one sitting in a carriage that flew through the air.
Thinking of her brother, the girl's expression turned gloomy.
She didn't like her brother anymore.
He'd actually locked her inside the car.
Some of the earlier distress still lingered in her heart.
Without warning, the girl shuddered all over.
It was terrifying.
She'd thought... she was going to die.
She clasped her hands tightly together.
They were ice-cold.
That's right.
The girl suddenly came to her senses.
She didn't want to be in the car anymore.
As she thought this, the girl hurriedly tried to get out.
In her fluster, and with her condition still not fully recovered...
The girl's legs gave way—
She pitched forward.
Her mind went blank.
She didn't even realize what was happening.
A few seconds later, the girl finally came around.
Huh?
She blinked.
She hadn't fallen.
She wasn't hurt.
And...
She turned her head from side to side.
