Chapter 377: Not Them. Us.
As I close the door behind us, the muffled silence of the talisman protected carriage envelops both Jin Chin and I. Reminding me of the sensitive nature of the words I wanted to speak with her.
But before going into that, there is another, essentially important thing I wanted to say to her.
“Hey, Jin Chin. Sorry to pull you away from the group like that. I just wanted to check in with you on a few things.
“First, though, are you doing okay? I know you’re strong enough to handle the bandits, but I wanted to make sure.”
At my words, I can see her flinch before letting out a subtly aggravated breath.
“James… I had absolutely no problems with mere bandits.”
Yeah. That definitely pissed her off.
“I know you wouldn’t. I just care about you and wanted to ask.”
She takes another breath and as she releases it, I can see her shoulders relax a bit more as she responds.
