What was wrong? Yibo too had wondered as he stared at Xiao Zhan. Standing behind the counter with all of his focus on the cash register's...

Yibo sifts through his memories, and one word resounds in his heart. "He's beautiful." She smiles. "That's a bit generic." "His soul is beautiful … pure." "Mn..." she says.
