Our Hearts

Landing before Xiu Ying, he boldly stretched his hand and rested his palm above her jet-black hair. 

[Ying Er, I've missed you.]

His obsidian eyes met with her golden ones, which reflected a soft light for a split moment before transforming into something else.

"I can see that," she spat, slapping his hand off her head while her sharp gaze scrutinized Ling Xiao.

"Brother Li, it's pleasing to see you safe." Bai Fengxi smiled. "You can also remove your mask now," she whispered and Li Chen responded with a slight nod.

"Who's she?" Xiu Ying asked coldly. "I'm Ling Xiao, a friend of Li Chen." Ling Xiao introduced herself before Li Chen could say a word.

"I see." Xiu Ying's eyes moved toward Li Chen, and she suddenly flashed away. 

[I'll be back.] With a few steps, he left the valley and vanished from sight.

Traversing two hundred meters away from the valley, he saw her atop a boulder, her robe fluttering.
