The hallway was extremely quiet.
Cheng Shi saw that Tang Xiaowan wasn't speaking, just staring at him, and began to sweat profusely on his forehead.
"Miss, the reason I left just now was because..."
Tang Xiaowan raised an eyebrow and said, "Indigestion?"
"Yes, I might have eaten too much cold dish at noon, so I went to the restroom, but I..."
"I've told you several times, you don't need to stay with me all the time. Why can't you remember that? Go and rest for a while, we still have to travel later tonight."
"I'm fine, I'm not tired. Miss, just go about your business, don't mind me, I'll be right here..."
"Go on, stop your prattling, you're making me anxious."
"But Miss, that..."
"My words don't carry weight, is that it?"
Cheng Shi didn't dare to utter another word, nodded, and left, but he took very slow steps, and looked back every few steps as if ready to rush back at any moment.
Tang Xiaowan shook her head, turned around, and suddenly heard a shout.
