Xuanyuan Chen strode over, reached out, and gently tapped Asi on the head, moving just like someone catching a mischievous little cat red-handed. "You silly girl," he said, "always thinking about nothing but eating and playing. You're lucky this time that everything turned out safe and sound. If you ever act so recklessly again, I'm really going to punish you properly and show no mercy at all, so don't try acting cute with me then." Upon hearing this, Asi immediately threw her arms around Xuanyuan Chen's arm, hanging onto him like a little tail, and shook him coaxingly. "Brother Xuanyuan, I was wrong, okay? Please stop being angry, I really know I was wrong."
Looking at the coaxing Asi before him, the anger in Xuanyuan Chen's heart melted away like snow under the warm sun, disappearing by more than half in an instant. His lips parted slightly, and he was just about to ask Asi what that strange voice from earlier—which had sounded as if it came from some mystical realm—was all about. But the words reached the tip of his tongue, only to be forcefully swallowed back down, leaving him hesitating again and again.
He thought to himself, "This might be a secret deep inside Asi's heart. If I rashly press her about it without thinking, won't it put this little girl in a difficult position? After all, everyone has secrets they don't want others to know. Isn't it too abrupt and rude of me to ask so carelessly?"
