Chapter 201: Melancholic Song
Under the moonlight, the young girl sat on the windowsill of the wooden house with her feet dangling, one hand resting on the window frame and the other on her lap. The night breeze gently fluttered the edge of her garment. Occasionally, her feet would move slightly, playing with the wind, or perhaps just indulging in childish amusement.
A sudden, faint smile appeared on her lips, soft and warm, reminiscent of a ten-year-old girl’s natural expression.
The night was deep, and the moonlight was cold. For some reason, she still showed no intention of leaving.
She became unexpectedly quiet, neither asking Lu Chen about Ah Tu nor directing any harsh words at him. At that moment, Lu Chen had a peculiar feeling, as if Bai Lian were simply sitting there, playing for the sake of enjoyment.
Of course, Lu Chen could never truly see this girl as an ordinary ten-year-old. Given her previous display of ruthless and malicious methods, he felt that had his skills been slightly less refined, he might not have been able to see the moon tonight.
However, continuing to hold this stalemate didn’t seem like a solution. Bai Lian appeared to be completely unconcerned, but this was Lu Chen’s wooden house, and he intended to sleep tonight. With such a dangerously unpredictable girl sitting on the windowsill, no matter how brave Lu Chen was, he felt he couldn’t dare to close his eyes.
Therefore, Lu Chen thought it best to have a word with Bai Lian, considering it would be ideal if they could part ways and each return to their own place to rest. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Lian suddenly let out a low hum, and began softly singing a tune:
Crescent moon,
Reflects the silk of joy.
