"I am alright," said Han Xuehan. Even though she was embarrassed, she knew that the villagers did not mean any harm. At most, they seemed to be curious about her situation, which was not surprising given her state.
However, Han Ruochen did not believe Han Xuehan. She knew her sister too well. She had always been extraordinarily kind and never did anything that would make the people around her upset. But she was not the same. After going through life and death, how could she still be worried about what people would think about her? She turned to look at the villagers and smiled at them politely.
"Apologies, everyone, but my sister is tired after travelling on a train for four days. If you don't mind, we can talk later on?" Han Ruochen spoke in a teasing voice. Because she spoke in a polite manner, no one took her words to heart. They even nodded at her with a smile.
"Sure, sure. The journey must have been a long one."
