So when Gongsun Ce saw the Silent King sitting by his sleeping bag after waking up, his heart was almost unperturbed, and he simply said expressionlessly, "Morning."
The Silent King still sat with her knees hugged, which seemed to be her habitual posture. Her fire-tinged black hair brushed against Gongsun Ce's face, making him feel itchy.
