Qin Xiao carefully looked around and, observing that no one was nearby, he lowered his gaze to Chun Xi. Illuminated by the torch beside them, even in the pitch-black night, he could see Chun Xi with her head bowed, seemingly unwilling to engage with him.
As the Crown Prince's personal attendant, Qin Xiao was indeed not skilled in wooing girls, straightforward in speech and manner, which had upset Chun Xi.
He scratched his head and spotted the Pearl Blossom in Chun Xi's hair, recognizing it instantly as a gift from him.
This alleviated some of the irritation Qin Xiao was feeling.
"Chun Xi, I was too impulsive today. Don't be upset, I won't do it again next time," he said.
Chun Xi also felt that Qin Xiao's actions today were rather improper, but the words that followed made her angry for several days.
"Chun Xi, just pretend you didn't hear what I said today," Qin Xiao suggested.
