Gu Xin's fingers moved deftly through Xiao Ning'er's hair, weaving each strand into a neat braid.
The morning had been very quiet, and Ning'er sat there unusually still, a faint smile lingering on her lips.
Gu Xin caught it and smirked.
"Xiao… if anyone saw you right now, they would think you were in love."
Xiao Ning'er's cheeks warmed. She huffed softly, trying to sound composed.
"Hmph. This side of me is only for you to see."
Gu Xin's smile deepened, amused by the quick comeback. After tying off the braid, she leaned slightly closer.
"Then what about that necklace? The one with the Hollow Spirit Pill. Who gave it to you? You can't tell me it's nothing."
Ning'er's fingers instinctively brushed against it and then she said,"…Nobody."
Gu Xin raised a brow.
"It's a guy, isn't it?"
"N-no. I said it's nobody."
Gu Xin didn't press directly, but the teasing glint in her eyes didn't fade.
"Hmm… let me guess. Fang Tian?"
