Philinos asked seriously, his cold, intense eyes fixed on Gu Ning.
His tone and gaze weren't so much an inquiry as a demand for an explanation.
Gu Ning's scalp tingled, and her heart leaped into her throat.
At this point, she wasn't sure what the bigger problem was: whether she liked that "male escort" or that the "male escort" had robbed her.
She didn't want to answer or delve into either question, because they weren't important.
She also didn't want Philinos to dwell on these unimportant issues. She wanted to use this opportunity to take Cook for a good look around the Inner District. They would be leaving the 12th District in a few days, and she had no idea when they might be back.
"What did that male escort from last night look like?" Lanuo tried to recall. "He was... pretty average, I think."
'Not the type Ningning would like.'
Lanuo glanced at the bird. It was obvious he liked her.
"I don't like him," Gu Ning answered, unable to withstand Philinos's intense stare.
