Zhu Pingniang's eyes flicker, unable to look at herself in the mirror...
She's deceiving herself again.
She doesn't admit it, only aware that she doesn't see Xu Chang'an as a junior. After all... if she really had a clear conscience like Ah Bai, she would of course see Xu Chang'an as filial and respectful.
The key is, she's actually moved by that child.
Admitting she's Xu Chang'an's elder now would mean she's the old cow wanting young grass; Zhu Pingniang doesn't want to humble herself into dirt, being looked at by Ah Bai with disdain, like staring at a dirty bug.
She absolutely cannot let Ah Bai know she's moved by Xu Chang'an.
Absolutely cannot.

Li Zhibai glanced strangely at the inner room.
Since earlier, she felt Tong Jun's aura seemed a bit unstable.
Is it because... of the injury?
Thinking about how she caught a glimpse of Zhu Pingniang's shattered vigilance when the door opened, Li Zhibai slightly frowned.
