In this jungle, she was more like an outsider who didn't belong.
When Lian An saw her agree so readily, his heart unexpectedly felt hollow.
It was like something he had been clutching tightly in his palm had suddenly been released, floating lightly to the ground.
He had thought he would feel relieved, but at this moment, he only felt a tightness in his chest.
But he didn't let it show, merely lowering his gaze.
"Then... we probably won't see each other for a long time."
"That's great."
Chu Jing replied in a lighthearted tone.
She tilted her head slightly, a natural smile gracing her lips.
Lian An froze instantly, his heart clenching.
'Is she...'
'Does she not want to see me?'
Countless possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant.
His fingers curled slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed, but he remained silent.
He struggled to maintain a calm expression, but the tips of his ears quietly reddened.
