"Who is he?" Xiao Jinsheng asked, puzzled.
She was just as curious, wondering why Li had such a strong reaction upon seeing him.
"A bandit, a ruthless thief who specializes in plundering supplies," Li answered gravely.
Upon hearing the person outside was a black-hearted rogue, Xiao Jinsheng immediately took a misstep and hid behind Li.
"A thief crying 'stop thief,' don't you think that's a bit shameless?" Shi Xie lightly tapped on the floor-to-ceiling window by the door.
The afternoon breeze subtly lifted the edges of his gauzy white dress, and the warm sunlight streaming into the corridor bathed his elegant, pristine figure in a divine glow.
Xiao Jinsheng gazed at him in amazement, while Shi Xie, standing outside the window, threw her a playful wink.
But she hadn't stared for long before Li raised a hand to cover her eyes. "Don't look at him. I already told you he's a bandit."
"But... he seems rather polite," Xiao Jinsheng said softly.
