Helan Lian's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he turned his head slowly.
Not far behind him, Mingshu was propping herself against a tree, touching its trunk and looking up in admiration with an exaggerated tone, "This tree is truly magnificent! It must be decades old, right?"
As she spoke, she stealthily glanced in his direction, thinking herself unnoticeable, but upon meeting his gaze, she stiffened and quickly turned her face away, as though caught in the act of a theft.
Helan Lian: "..."
His expression seemed thoughtful, the corners of his lips lifting slightly as he pretended not to notice and walked out of the courtyard.
Mingshu patted her chest and exhaled sharply, then tiptoed quickly to follow him.
Sensing the footsteps catching up behind him, Helan Lian grew more curious, What kind of madness is she up to?
Mingshu watched Helan Lian's receding figure, her brows and eyes twisted in a dilemma, How should she approach this?
What if he wasn't who she suspected?
