Felt That She Should Explain Herself

From his position, he could see the crown of her dark head as well as the dainty whorl in the center.

Her tresses fell over her shoulders and concealed half of her face, preventing him from seeing her expression. All he could glimpse were the long, curled lashes on her right eye, the slight tremble in them making her seem like a frightened rabbit.

All of a sudden, Lu Tingchen found the girl in front of him somewhat adorable.

Chu Jiu was dismayed when she realized that he had not heard her properly. 

They had never gotten along before, but in the past few days, she had been receiving a lot of help from him.

She had finally uttered her thanks, but unfortunately he did not hear her, and now she was at a loss for how to repeat herself.

Seeing her go quiet, Lu Tingchen could not help asking again, "What did you say just now?"

Chu Jiu took a deep breath, then raised her gaze to look at him. "Thank you for helping me just now."
