Wang Xiao's smile softened as he watched the fear slowly fade from Mei's eyes, replaced by a shy calmness. "You see?" he said gently, his voice steadying her like a warm breeze. "Ordinary people don't just get poisoned. Now, isn't it time you show me what you've been hiding down there?"
"Mm..." Mei blinked, momentarily caught off guard. She would have forgotten if not for his reminder.
A glance at the clock told her it was still only eleven o'clock at night, but she knew she needed to return before midnight.
Her hands, small and graceful, reached for the package resting beside her chair.
With delicate movements, she pulled it into her lap, then hesitated for a moment before offering it to him.
Wang Xiao's eyes flickered with curiosity as he took the package, his fingers brushing against the soft white fabric of the bag.
There was a hint of confusion in his gaze as he looked at it, the faintest crease forming between his brows.
