Chapter 393 - 276: The Solution
Shen Duan was dressed in a dark blue short sleeve and black trousers, but as he was tall, the trousers seemed too short for him. It was obvious the clothes weren’t his own, and his look at Tang Xi seemed equally surprised to encounter her here.
However, he did not respond immediately to her, merely nodding faintly, his gaze signaling her to remain calm for the time being.
Then, he turned and walked ahead.
Tang Xi was excited to meet a relatively familiar person here, but Shen Duan’s indifferent expression cooled her ardor as though doused with cold water. She took a couple of steps in the direction Shen Duan went, and followed him, not walking out of an alley when she saw a young woman approaching, whom Shen Duan held onto.
The young woman seemed very young, dressed in plain and simple clothes, slender in build, with her hair casually tied at the back of her head. Her skin was pale, the sickly pallor of someone perpetually kept away from light. Shen Duan held her by the arm, walking forward. The woman’s voice was very faint, speaking continuously to him, with Shen Duan replying in a subdued tone.
Tang Xi followed the two through two more alleys before they finally stopped.
It was then that Tang Xi realized that the woman was blind.
A sightless woman.
