Death and Conspiracy (6)

A good person! A fair lady! Lu Jia'er was touched by those words which could be interpreted as recognition of her humanity. In his eyes, she was neither an outlier nor a special individual. He did not reject her, nor was he intimidated by her. He was still viewing her as a normal female human.

"Deputy Xu, I will engrave those words of yours in my mind!" Lu Jia'er said to Xu Lei with sincerity.

Xu Lei looked into her eyes and she smiled at him.

For a moment, Xu Lei felt he became absent-minded. Lu Jia'er's eyes were so beautiful and clean as if they housed a pond of clear water which people would want to stop by to appreciate. When a refreshing breeze blew past the water, ripples would set off across its surface…

When Xu Lei came back to his senses, he found himself standing on the top of the mountain alone. The moonlight shone brightly on him, casting a stretched shadow behind in stark contrast.
