"Awesome! You actually developed a new ability!"
His tone was exaggerated and fervent, his eyes shining with adoration.
Xuyue slowly raised his head, and his gaze immediately fell upon Chu Jing.
He saw that she had gone to stand beside Qi Cha.
An imperceptible glint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
It wasn't anger, nor was it jealousy.
It was a deeper emotion, something like relief.
Or perhaps a kind of secret satisfaction.
"How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Chu Jing took a small step forward, her tone gentle and filled with just the right amount of concern.
'She…'
'Is worried about me?'
The thought flashed through Xuyue's mind, leaving him momentarily stunned.
It felt as if something had gently bumped against Xuyue's heart.
A long-absent warmth quietly began to spread through him.
He had never expected this.
He had thought she would keep her distance, as she always had.
Or even that she would be terrified after he had lost control just now.
