Xu Lu'er stood quietly by the door, her frail body straight and hopeful eyes fixed on her, she nodded lightly: "Hmm."
Ye Zhi glanced at her, smiled and nodded in farewell, then tiptoed out, closing the door softly behind her.
The slim girl walked into the courtyard, her toes barely touching the ground, light as a swallow she leaped several meters away, disappearing from sight.
Seeing this, Xu Lu'er's heart felt more at ease. She tightly shut the door and bolted it.
Leaning against the chamber door, she squatted down weakly, her face carrying a trace of sorrow.
Was this heavenly-sent charming girl here to rescue her?
For reasons unknown, she chose to trust the stranger she had met for less than an hour.
Or maybe it was because the stranger exuded a calming presence.
After clearing her mind, her face showed only one expression: calmness.
That night, it was the most peaceful sleep she had enjoyed in the past two years.
Outside the wall~
