"I'm sorry that I wasn't by your side when you needed me the most." Xia Fei showed an apologetic expression as he began.
Avril hurriedly shook her head, tossing her flaxen blonde hair to the back of her head. She tried her best to look happier. "I'm proud of what you did in the insectoid territory on behalf of the Panhuman Alliance. You mustn't be distracted by me. There are still plenty of people out there who need you, too."
Xia Fei was momentarily silent. He could not recall when Avril had become so considerate and well-behaved.
