Su Zhiruan thought she had heard wrong, but when she took two steps forward, the god behind her also silently rose and followed her.
He didn't seem reluctant nor overly curious, as if he only followed her because he wanted to eat Almond Cake.
Su Zhiruan was thoroughly puzzled.
As she speculated and descended the stairs, at that moment—
"Ah—"
She walked too quickly and missed a step.
Just as she was about to faint, the silent Changqi Upper God behind her flicked his hand, and a glimmer of light spiraled from his fingertips, gently enveloping Su Zhiruan, lifting her up with the light.
"Don't be distracted,"
Changqi said in a mild voice.
A very faint scent of sandalwood passed by her, his long sleeve gently brushed by Su Zhiruan's side, touching her arm as lightly as a dragonfly skims the water, as soft as fingertips caressing the smoothest silk.
Su Zhiruan snapped out of her daze and watched as the man walked ahead of her, signaling her to follow.
