Her faint voice dispersed in the wind.

Ning Xie failed to catch it, so he raised his eyebrow, curious. "Hmm? What did you say?"

Leng Tong clenched her fist, reaching back into her pocket to hold onto that piece of paper.

She bit her lip and in her eyes, usually void of any expressed emotions, a hint of hesitation could be traced.

So, she raised her voice, asking once again: "Can you, not leave?"

Ning Xie laughed at her words, "I thought you were here to bid farewell. Leng Tong, this is unlike you!"

Leng Tong fell silent.

Ning Xie turned his gaze to the horizon, speaking softly, "Did my mother say something wrong to you earlier?"

No sooner had he said it than Leng Tong replied, "No."

Ning Xie sighed, "I know my mother. She must have blamed you and said something harsh. Don't mind her; that's how she is. But, deep down, she actually likes you."

Leng Tong remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Ning Xie exhaled, "Don't blame yourself."
