Fortunately, to everyone else, Mai Mingle's head was just a carved wooden door with an inlaid mirror.
No matter what face she made, as long as she was quiet, Robert wouldn't notice her reaction—which saved her a lot of embarrassment and fury.
Mai Mingle bit the inside of her cheek, pressing her lips together tightly. She kept her head level, only letting her eyelids droop from time to time to steal a glance.
She couldn't stop herself from looking. Honestly, who could?
'How was she supposed to describe this feeling? In her entire life, she'd never encountered anything like this...'
When she followed Suo Beihua down the stairs and first caught sight of Robert sitting on the landing, Mai Mingle was simply startled.
All of Robert's skin visible outside his clothes had turned into flesh-colored plastic, making him look like Barbie's boyfriend—what's-his-name? His limbs and cheeks looked stiff and slow. It was a little scary, but not yet absurd.
