Leaning against Sheng Jingyi's body, Ling Xi had her eyes lazily closed.
"Xixi," after a little while, Sheng Jingyi suddenly spoke again, "Are you tired?" She looked really tired.
"I'm okay," shaking her head with a slight smile, Ling Xi replied. She actually just felt that it had been a very long time since she had leaned against this embrace; it felt really comforting.
Taking a brief pause, Ling Xi asked again, "Is there something else you want to ask me?" Why does it seem a bit hesitant?
"Yes," he responded softly and then continued, "Yesterday, why did Xixi let him go?" Regarding yesterday's event, Sheng Jingyi indeed had some inkling that that day, Ling Xi seemed to have intentionally let Ou Cheng leave.
Otherwise, she would not have stopped Mengmeng from pursuing. If Mengmeng took action, neither Ou Cheng nor that elder would have escaped.
