As soon as she heard his voice, Shi Nian's eyes quickly became wet.
She understood the intent behind his deliberately light tone. Just like six years ago, he always used this method to 'talk' to her, wanting to make her relax and laugh.
She sniffled and asked in the direction the voice came from, "Are you okay? Up there... were you injured?"
He chuckled lightly: "Silly woman, ask another stupid question like that and I'll hit you."
She knew the situation, yet his words made her laugh uncontrollably.
It was a confidence in him, believing that even if there were four people above, they wouldn't be able to take him down; but... she couldn't help but worry.
However, in this empty basement, her somewhat restrained laughter was exceptionally loud in Huangfu Huazhang's ears.
With Tang Yanqing, even her little sounds were different. As if she was once again the young girl of the past, able to laugh innocently and freely, without worrying about her age or others' perceptions.
