Chapter 32: The Storm Is Coming
Xu Si stood in the sea breeze, her gaze nonchalantly drifting towards the brightly lit district.
"That’s the darkest place in all of Hong Kong Island. Ordinary people can’t get in, and if they do, they can’t get out."
Pei Zhen pondered, watching Xu Si’s hair get tousled by the sea breeze. He pulled a black hair tie from his backpack and handed it to her. "It sounds like a very bad place," he said.
A muscle twitched at Xu Si’s temple. She naturally took the hair tie and deftly tied up her hair.
"Can’t really say whether it’s good or bad. For some people, it’s definitely heaven."
"And what about for Auntie?"
The youth tilted his head back, his gaze landing on the distance, his entire face shrouded in the dense sea fog. Xu Si’s eyes slid from his high-bridged nose down to his chiseled jawline. Her tone was calm as she said, "For me, it’s neither good nor bad."
She didn’t particularly want to continue this topic. Her tone was dismissive as she gripped the keys in her hand.
"Let’s go. I remember there are other beaches nearby, busier than this one."
The youth’s ash-grey, glinting eyes circled her once. "Okay," he agreed.
The car door SLAMMED shut.
