Gu Qiaoqiao had not yet recovered from the shock of the black box when she heard Qin Yize's words, and she was stunned.
Her big eyes blinked several times, and her expression was very bewildered, with the naive charm of a young girl.
Qin Yize felt a momentary stagnation in his chest, and after a few breaths, he returned to normal.
His gaze was cool, and feeling his own boredom, he gave a slight smile, "I was just asking casually."
He then stopped talking and walked back to his room at an unhurried pace, gently closing the door behind him.
Gu Qiaoqiao, puzzled, glanced in his direction and then turned to head towards her and her younger sister's room.
The night of winter offered nothing more than moonlight flowing like water.
It seemed that even the guard dog, Big Yellow, had been so cold that it ran back to its kennel.
The nighttime Stone Town had only a few homes with lights on, all other places were pitch dark, as if everyone had already settled into a deep sleep.
