Seeing Nuan Nuan's reluctant expression, Lin Yu suddenly felt a pang of guilt, as though he had snatched away a little girl's most treasured possession.
Lin Yu's body gave an almost imperceptible shudder. He vigorously shook his head, casting out that mess of thoughts, then gently accepted the pendant Nuan Nuan handed him.
Only after taking the pendant did Lin Yu realize that it could be opened. In other words, what was inside might be what Nuan Nuan's mother had truly left for her.
Lin Yu raised his head to look at Nuan Nuan, then gently lifted the pendant.
"May I open it?"
"It's okay, big brother. Go ahead and open it!"
Although Nuan Nuan said it was fine, her eyes followed the pendant the whole time. The anxiety in them did not escape Lin Yu's notice.
"Heh heh..."
Lin Yu could not help but chuckle again. The sound made the little girl's face redden, and she turned away shyly. Still, the furtive glances she shot his way could not be hidden from Lin Yu.
Lin Yu did not expose Nuan Nuan's little thoughts. He lowered his head and felt around for a moment before gently pressing the switch at the top of the pendant. With a click, its cover instantly sprang open, revealing what was inside.
Inside the pendant was a photograph of a smiling woman. Though it was only a photograph, Lin Yu could still tell that Nuan Nuan's mother had been an exceptionally gentle woman.
"To my dear Nuan Nuan, from your loving mother, Yang Xue!"
Seeing the small line of writing on the photograph, Lin Yu froze for a moment. Judging by the woman's name, this sweetly smiling woman was clearly a native of Dragon Glory.
In other words, Nuan Nuan was actually from Dragon Glory.
