Although she thought that, the tears formed uncontrollably and rolled down her cheeks, wetting her face.
She walked alone along the streets of Hengdian.
Mo Xicheng followed her, frowning and lost in his thoughts. He looked bewildered and at a loss as to how to comfort an upset girl.
He knew she didn't want him around, but he was too worried to let her be alone.
Qiao Lian was tugging Shen Liangchuan along as they trailed the two of them from a safe distance.
They couldn't have heard what Shi Nianyao and Mo Xicheng had said to each other, but looking at what was going on, everything was self-explanatory.
She shot Shen Liangchuan a look to indicate that they should attend to them separately.
Qiao Lian walked up to Shi Nianyao and tapped her shoulder.
The latter spun her head around and, seeing that it was Qiao Lian, now felt worse than ever. She called out, "Lian Lian!" and started to cry aloud.
