Su Bei's complexion looked somewhat pale as he gazed at Dan Wulan, equally pallid, their eyes locked in a wide-eyed stare. Finally, under his gaze, Dan Wulan seemed unsure what expression to wear. She took a deep breath, her silver teeth clenched on her thin lips, and said, "Get up and move around a bit..."
"Oh," Su Bei replied simply.
Dan Wulan was speechless.
Putting everything else out of his mind, Su Bei softly consoled, "Junior Sister, try to relax..."
"What did you call me?" Dan Wulan retorted.
"...Wulan, try to relax..." Su Bei corrected himself.
RUSTLE, RUSTLE—
The night was nearly at the break of dawn.
