The familiar voice quickly pulled An Mingji out of his gloomy mood.
He looked up, his eyes sparkling as he gazed at Gu Jin. "It's nothing, just thinking about some things."
"Thinking about what?"
Gu Jin asked casually as she walked past him toward the kitchen.
She was hungry, having not eaten a bite since last night's ordeal.
Watching her back as she headed to the kitchen, An Mingji didn't immediately follow her.
He turned around and rushed back to his room, emerging with a wooden box in his hand.
It was the same box that previously held the emerald jade, and now it contained the Phoenix Totem Jade Ring he intended to give to Gu Jin.
Arriving in the kitchen, Gu Jin noticed that the young man behind her had left at some point.
This surprised her somewhat.
In her subconscious, as long as she was somewhere, An Mingji was sure to follow closely.
It was rare for the young man not to be right behind her.
Although surprised, she didn't dwell on it.
