The alley was not long. Huai Shi had walked for just two minutes when it came to an end, but it seemed someone had intercepted him.
A pale hand stretched out unexpectedly from behind him, resting on his shoulder. Startled, Huai Shi turned his head and saw the girl standing in the corner's shadow.
She wore a white dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders like black water. She also wore a mask. It seemed she was looking for help.
"Sorry," Huai Shi apologized, a bit embarrassed, "I didn't see you just now."
Indeed, she had hidden herself too well; Huai Shi himself had been startled.
"Is there something you need help with?" Huai Shi asked.
As if it were the first time anyone had ever asked her such a question, the girl hesitated for a moment, staring at him as if he were a fool.
Then, she suddenly asked, "Am I beautiful?"
To suddenly ask such a question...
Huai Shi scrutinized her, pondering. She appeared to have a nice figure, but with the mask on, it was hard to say.
