“That’s right. I don’t want others to recognize you two,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. She had said things very clearly before. It would be best if they could understand, but if they still didn’t understand, she wouldn’t bother to explain. She would not leave useless people around her.

The wind was warm, the sun was shining, and the streets were bustling, mostly with pairs of lovers.
