Duan Rong suddenly shivered as he recalled Ximen Kankan's words in that dark cave.
"Do I really have this preference?"
"No way! I'm completely normal."
Xiao Yu didn't notice the change in Duan Rong's expression at all. She heard Duan Rong say it was nice, and felt contented herself, then put on her shoes and socks.
The two continued chatting at the entrance of the cave, and soon they talked about Xianggu County, Zhu Xiaoqi, and Elder Xiao. Xiao Yu even asked about Duan Rong's relationship with the Ximen Family. Duan Rong then shared how he came to know Ximen Kankan, mentioning what he could with Xiao Yu.
Some things made Xiao Yu laugh aloud.
Without realizing it, they sat next to each other, with Xiao Yu's head already leaning on Duan Rong's shoulder.
As they talked, silence gradually settled in, and no one spoke for a long time.
Yet, the atmosphere bore no trace of awkwardness.
They could clearly sense each other's presence.
