She held her forehead, stunned!
Was it that Tong Xiyan spoke too slowly, or that Xiao Yanyi reacted too quickly?
The unexpected event left her at a loss, and the best opportunity was gone. The courtyard was bustling with people coming and going, and she stood alone against the wall, shrinking back behind the wintergreen tree, doing nothing but waiting for Xiao Yanyi to come out or for the next chance to escape from here...
She sighed, looking at the door of the wing, across the trees, the path, and the winding corridor, hoping Xiao Yanyi would quickly think of a way to help them out!
After waiting for about half a cup of tea's time, the door of the wing finally opened, and Xiao Yanyi turned around and locked the door again. He walked calmly in the courtyard, yet his glance seemed to occasionally fall on Xiqiu's side.
Xiqiu waited quietly, and sure enough, she saw him quickly come over after assigning a few pages.
