Liu Xi had been a little annoyed to hear Lu Sangjiu shouting for Gu Jue, but when she heard the second half of the cry—that *she* was here—her displeasure vanished in an instant.
So, with their combined efforts, Gu Jue finally noticed them amid the chaos and reached them in just a few leaps.
Perhaps because Lu Sangjiu had shouted even more vigorously than Liu Xi, Gu Jue's sense of direction was slightly off.
He didn't land in front of Liu Xi, but in front of Lu Sangjiu instead.
Their eyes met, and for a moment, there was silence. Then, Lu Sangjiu pointed to a pouting Liu Xi. "Er... your junior sister is over there."
Only then did Gu Jue turn to Liu Xi. "Are you alright?"
In front of Gu Jue, Liu Xi was like a completely different person and incredibly easy to please.
She had been pouting just a moment ago, but the instant Gu Jue asked after her, she shook her head, her face blossoming into a smile. "I'm fine! Eldest Brother, what about you? Are you injured?"
