Dongfang Jin was quick with his eyes and hands, and immediately supported Baili Xia, preventing her from falling face-first into the mud.
"You... what did you say?" Just as she steadied herself, Baili Xia pushed his hand away and slightly stepped back.
This defensive posture clearly showed her fear of him seeing through her.
Dongfang Jin continued to stare at her, his eyes becoming deeper and more unfathomable under the moonlight.
"Although we haven't been acquainted for long, it hasn't been short either."
He withdrew his gaze to look at a distant, unknown place, so as not to frighten this overly shocked girl with his stare.
The moonlight tonight was beautiful, but his mood was not.
Some things, especially her every move, every facial expression, might be incomprehensible to others, but how could he be the same?
