"Thank you, Cui'er", Wu Long smiled turning to the slightly bewildered by the sudden turn of events Gong Cui.
"Eh?", she turned a confused gaze to him, not sure why he was thanking her, but a delighted smile bloomed on her face as she guessed she helped him somehow, "Ehehehe"
He gave her a kiss on the forehead as she giggled, and then stood up, following after Xue Bing who was already gone from the gazebo.
Of course, he knew where to look for her, but it wasn't hard to follow her trail even if it wasn't him, as the pathway and the flowers along it were covered by a thin layer of frost.
"Wu Long", she stopped and turned, feeling his approach. Her expression wasn't any different from usual, but he could see her distress.
"It's fine, Bing'er, come here", he spoke, crossing the remaining distance between them in an instant and embracing her.
