Nicholas paused.
He narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "Why not?"
Xiang Huai shot him a glance with a faint smile.
Nicholas clenched his jaw. "Xiang, could she be that person?"
Xiang Huai did not speak and turned around to show his back to Nicholas.
Nicholas moved to his side and reached out to push him awake. "Xiang, don't sleep. Get up and explain to me what your little girlfriend's superpower is. Don't worry. With our relationship, I'll definitely keep it a secret."
Xiang Huai did not speak again.
Nicholas was left alone to face the night.
He fiddled with the fire and the light from it shone on his face. It flickered on and darkened his eyes. He turned to look at Xiang Huai, who was lying down.
He knew that this person was not asleep and was only pretending to be asleep because he did not want to bother with him, but he could not do anything to him.
…
In the capital, on the mountain behind Huaxia University.
