Jiang Ying Yue (15)

Jiang Li watched her tremble and stutter inaudible words to herself for a while. Then when he got bored due to her still not speaking after some time, he got up and picked up a writing set from the study. When he went back, there was already something written on the piece of paper. He showed it to Jiang Ying Yue.

The muddle in her eyes became more intense. He could see that she was very puzzled. But that was it. He saw no panic. She still looked unruffled as if what he asked her to do was not anything difficult. Her eyes swept over the Arabic numerals and their equivalent in the current crude counting system.

'Good that she's obedient and cooperating,' he thought with a corner of his lips tugged up.
