Gu Youyou looked at the small bell and tucked it away before gently biting her lip.
The decision to save him was the right one, although she didn't fully understand his words, there was no doubt they were seen as the same kind of people in the eyes of those others.
"Okay, thank you!"
"Mmm! Then I'm leaving, be careful. Remember, in this world, you can't trust anyone but yourself."
"Okay."
The man nodded and swiftly leapt out of the window, moving so quickly he was like a fleeting shadow.
"Hey, wait..."
Gu Youyou only thought of something important after the man had disappeared.
There were no sounds from outside anymore, and Gu Youyou, thinking he had gone far away, sagged in disappointment.
"You've decided to come with me, then."
Just when she thought the person had left, a barely audible voice resurfaced behind her.
Startled, Gu Youyou instinctively turned and stepped back, patting her chest, saying, "How are you so silent? My ears didn't pick up any sound at all."
