Qin Youbei had pleaded with Gu Xiao for a long time, and in the end, threatened not to leave unless she could see Xi Yin, which is what finally made Gu Xiao compromise.
Gu Xiao found an excuse to send Xi Pinglian away, creating a space for Qin Youbei and Xi Yin to be alone together.
At the moment, Xi Yin was sitting on the balcony soaking up the sun, her complexion a bit pale, expressionless. Upon seeing Qin Youbei come in, she just lifted her head to glance at her and then lowered it again.
It happened so quickly that Qin Youbei failed to catch it.
She sat down beside Xi Yin, grasping her hand, "Auntie."
Xi Yin didn't move, looking blankly, foolishly on.
