Feeling guilty, he averted his gaze, but when he looked at Yu Ying beside him, his expression froze for a moment.
However, he didn't let any hints show on his face.
"Damn it."
He silently cursed in his mind.
It was only when his gaze landed on Yu Ying that he realized this woman, who was eloquent and tough in action, was completely different from before.
Pale-faced and with ghastly white lips, she who was always dressed to the nines and always had her makeup meticulously done, had left home today without a touch of makeup. Despite having tried her best to look ordinary, her frail appearance was enough to prove too many things.
Just recovering from a severe illness, no, it seemed more like she was in the state of just having contracted a severe illness.
Loose floral robes veiled her body, but a slight trembling would occasionally occur. Cradling a pipa, despite being so weakened, her nature remained dominant.
