Han Yan watched them for a moment, his gaze moving between Lin Xin and Dong Hai.
Then he cleared his throat slightly.
"I won't feel at ease leaving you and Little Hai here alone while I'm gone."
His voice was low and steady, the voice of a man who had already made up his mind.
"You two should stay at Wei Jun's house until I return."
Lin Xin blinked. "At his house?"
"Mm." Han Yan nodded. "It's safer there, and you'll have company."
Lin Xin thought about it for a moment, his fingers worrying the hem of his sleeve. Then he turned toward Dong Hai, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Little Hai, what do you think?"
Dong Hai, who had been quietly listening with his arms held stiffly at his sides, straightened slightly. "Me?"
"Mm. We're going to Wei-ge's house."
Dong Hai maintained a serious expression for a moment, his lips pressed into a firm line.
Unfortunately, the reddening tips of his ears betrayed him.
