"I'll take you home."
Lin Xuanzi didn't dare let her go home alone anymore.
Without an escort last night, something happened to her.
Fortunately, nothing major happened in the end, otherwise, he would never forgive himself for his negligence.
"Alright."
Mai Xiaomai knew he would insist, so she didn't argue further.
The two of them walked out, strolling through the quiet alley.
Neither of them spoke much.
It wasn't until they reached the Zhan Family's doorstep that Mai Xiaomai said, "I'm here, Mr. Lin, thank you for taking me home."
"No need to thank me. Rest well, see you tomorrow."
Lin Xuanzi gave her a deep look, but his tone was a bit distant, making it hard to discern any emotion.
"Hmm, goodbye."
Mai Xiaomai opened the door and went in.
Lin Xuanzi watched as the two vermilion-painted doors closed, feeling empty, as if he and she were separated by two different worlds.
Is she the other half of his circle?
Otherwise, why would his heart be so stirred by her?
