Chapter 39: White Tiles, Character Tiles, Flower Tiles

Lin Xiaolu's question was quite sudden, which made Emerald Sparrow involuntarily retort, "Why do you want to ask that?"

"Because that day, you said on the phone not to come over..." Lin Xiaolu replied in a low voice.

"Do you think I was finding you useless?"

Emerald Sparrow's eyebrows raised slightly as she explained, "Not at all, I didn't mean that."

"But, Emerald Sparrow, you've actually been acting alone all this time, haven't you?"

Lin Xiaolu stared into Emerald Sparrow's eyes: "There was a time before when you would always stare at something in your hand, lost in thought, and often mentioned investigating something. I've often thought: Could it be that Emerald Sparrow has been fighting alone in places we don't know about?"

She clenched her own skirt, her voice gradually rising: "I know Emerald Sparrow is strong, but even so, I can't help but worry. I don't want to just anxiously fret in the background; I want to help you!"

"That day will come."
