Darkness Dissipates; The King Returns (2)

After three seconds of silence, Rick nodded. "I do."

"Then you should know what to do. You may seem indifferent, but you're not heartless.

Rick, on the other hand, looked gratefully as she walked away, as if he suddenly realized something. He muttered to himself. "Huo Mian, thank you…"

This weirded her out. "What are you guys smiling about? What's going on?"

"First, tell us how you did as a mediator. Did you convince Rick?" Tang Chuan smiled mysteriously.
