"How have you been recently?" Jiang Ruyi asked gently.
"Mm." Tian Tian buried her face in Jiang Ruyi's back and nodded slightly.
To be precise, her small face was buried in the cascading black hair, with a faint jasmine fragrance lingering in the air.
Such a familiar scent.
Tian Tian liked it very much, it was an incredibly reassuring feeling.
After returning to the Human World, Jiang Ruyi deliberately used the same bath products as before.
She knew Lu Ran liked it.
Jiang Ruyi slowly turned around and looked down at the little one.
"Don't cry." She lightly touched Tian Tian's small face, gently wiping the tears from her eyes with her thumb.
Uncertain if they were tears of joy or fear.
Maybe both.
Jiang Ruyi could clearly feel the girl in her arms trembling, yet stubbornly burying her head in her embrace.
Involuntarily, Jiang Ruyi's gaze became even softer: "Are you at the Third or Fourth Rank of River Realm?"
"F-fifth Rank." Tian Tian responded timidly.
