Han Ruoruo's hesitation

Han Ruoruo paused slightly when she heard Wu Ming speak.

She looked Yue Ling over before slowly withdrawing her gaze and speaking softly.

"All right, go ahead. We'll wait for you up ahead."

Seeing the shock written all over Wu Ming's face, he chuckled softly.

"Because I've always lived in an elder's courtyard."

It was hardly a secret anyway. Even the teachers
