In the bustling market, her mind was a complete blank.
As if time had come to a standstill, Li Junwu's entire figure seemed frozen in place by some immobilizing spell.
Accompanied by the rhythmic clatter of hooves as carriages passed by, a nearby voice, calm and laced with a subtle smile, drifted into her ears, jolting her dazed thoughts back to reality:
"What are you standing there for? Lead the way."
"......"
The noise of the street returned to her ears. Without any excessive gestures, Li Junwu maneuvered through the pedestrians clad in all manner of clothing and retorted irritably:
"What's the rush? I was thinking."
"..."
Xu Yuan, somewhat surprised, followed closely behind her:
"Thinking about what?"
"You suddenly said I should act as you. Of course, I need to think about what part of you I'm supposed to act out."
