As soon as he said it, the whole living room went dead quiet for several seconds.
Yino's eyes were sharp and clear, locked on the girl's face the whole time, watching her reaction.
The latter also froze for a moment, then turned to face Yino's curiosity directly, her eyebrows slightly raised, her originally beautiful and cute phoenix face showing some confusion:
"Jinjie, you mean Jinyu's sister?"
Xinyao from the crazy Western Region was naturally quick on her feet.
Her smooth answer made sense, but Yino still caught something fishy in that few-second pause.
"Mm... I thought Aunty would have sent people to secretly protect me these past six months."
"Hehe, I did send people to watch you."
When she said this, Xinyao grinned playfully, and even her foot that'd been chilling in Yino's arms started wiggling her toes.
Her foot was quite restless, moving up along his abdomen, naturally hooking onto the little bean on Yino's chest.
