"What are you all laughing about?" Qin Xue and Nangong Beiying had been talking behind them and didn't hear the conversation in front. Now, seeing everyone like this, she looked at them puzzled and asked.
"Um, nothing." Upon hearing Qin Xue's question, everyone collectively felt a chill, and there was no need to wonder where it came from – it was clearly emitted by Chu Molin. They didn't dare to speak.
"Are you really okay?" Even Nangong Beiying didn't believe they appeared to be just fine.
"Nothing." Everyone shook their heads in unison.
"Qin Xue, what were you talking about just now? Why were you walking so slowly back there?" Qing Zhu found a topic to shift away from this awkward question.
Whether they spoke or not, it wasn't right either way, so the best way was to skip it. Even if they were to say anything, it would have to be when Qin Xue was alone. She would be foolish to say it in front of Chu Molin.
