Chapter 135: Brushed past each other
In his memory, there indeed was a girl like this, but her face was blurry.
Jiang Jinghuai looked at her indifferently, his voice carrying the faintness of someone severely injured: "I suppose I... remember." He still recalled the appearance of that snake to this day.
Chen Ying let out a breath and eagerly asked, "You—you came here looking for Tian Sangsang, didn’t you? Tian Sangsang, she..."
Before she could finish, Jiang Jinghuai’s gaze darkened abruptly. He pursed his lips and replied coldly, "No, I didn’t."
He turned and walked away. The intention he had earlier to visit Tian Family Village dissipated the moment she brought it up. Now that the thumb ring had been returned to its rightful owner, why go see her?
Chen Ying froze in place. He’s leaving? Just like that? Then what about Tian Sangsang?
No, she lifted her foot and started to run back. She needed to find Tian Sangsang!
Jiang Jinghuai walked aimlessly. The midday sun bore down intensely. Gradually, he furrowed his brows, feeling his energy draining.
"Ah... I fell." A soft, childlike mumble broke the hushed air.
Jiang Jinghuai lowered his head and saw a little boy in light blue clothes sprawled on the ground, bracing himself with his hands to stand up. Instinctively, Jiang Jinghuai looped one arm around the boy’s waist, hoisting his small body upright. Then, steadying him, he tousled the boy’s fluffy hair and said, "Be more careful when you walk next time."
