161 The Better Question

The room was dead silent. I kept my forehead touched to the ground, and I could feel Teng Yuan's gaze piercing me from the back of my head as I waited for his response.

I knew he had the answer I needed. From the way he looked at me ever since the first day we met, I could tell that he had figured something no one else did. I didn't know how he managed at first, but after Su Nian's visit today, I realized that it was because Bai Ye had called me "Qing-er" in front of him and asked him to help protect me. Bai Ye had shown him how special I was … and seeing Twin Stars on my belt, Teng Yuan must've guessed that I was the girl from Bai Ye's past.

I didn't know if I could convince Teng Yuan to tell me anything about it though. After all, he was Bai Ye's friend, and Bai Ye clearly didn't want me to know the rest of the truth. All I could do was try my best.
