"Auntie... Twilight... Are you two okay?" Qin Xinyu worriedly queried, he was wearing his school uniform and carrying his heavy school bag packed with books and school necessities.
Tang Fei quickly composed herself, forcing the tension from her voice as she turned toward the boy smiling warmly even though she couldn't properly mask that tension.
"We're fine," she said, the small smile on her lips steady and reassuring, "Just needed a quick word, that's all."
Qin Xinyu nervously adjusted his school bag across his shoulders, eyes darting between them, "I thought something happened again… the way you two looked...."
Twilight cut him off smoothly, her expression calm but sharp. "We were just double-checking the surroundings," she said, slipping easily into the cool, composed tone of someone who'd been trained for this kind of cover, "Everything's fine..."
Qing Xinyu nodded, still uneasy but satisfied enough with the answer.
