Before she'd even reached the city, An Jin ran into Chi Li coming the other way. "I have something..." he began, then his eyes fell on Ze Sheng behind her. The fox-eared boy's expression instantly turned to shock.
'How could those two be together?'

From his hand gripping hers, An Jin could feel how incredibly tense he was. The depths of his gilded eyes were like tempered ice. 'When has the normally calm and playful Chi Li ever looked so panicked?'
"Alright... What on earth happened? You, you just slow down and tell me—huh? What's wrong?"
