Lin Xingzhu replied with a light smile, "What could I possibly doubt about you?"
With jade-like fingers resting beside her face, Lin Xingzhu's raven-black eyelashes fluttered, and her light-colored lips gently brushed against each other, leaving a soft kiss.
Bai Xiying's fingers retracted slightly as she looked at the calm and gentle Lin Xingzhu. Her gaze flickered, and she naturally withdrew her teasing hand.
"That depends on what your doubts are," Bai Xiying replied with a teasing smile.
Lin Xingzhu lowered her eyes; she had so many questions swirling in her mind.
Selecting her confusion carefully, Lin Xingzhu chose the one that was foremost in her thoughts.
"You've got me thinking. I really am puzzled about some things," Lin Xingzhu said gently. "Did you investigate Chu Xiang before?"
Bai Xiying smiled lightly. "No."
Lin Xingzhu nodded slowly, voicing her concern again, "Then how can you be so certain about the nature Chu Xiang hides?"
Bai Xiying covered her mouth and let out a soft "Ah." "That's because I discovered it myself."
It wasn't just written in black and white; she had seen it with her own eyes.
But Bai Xiying had previously claimed that their time together was very enjoyable.
Looking into her sparkling eyes, Lin Xingzhu suddenly asked, "When did you discover it?"
That was a good question.
Bai Xiying blinked and pretended to think. "... A long time ago."
Returning to a time that felt quite distant.
Seeing Lin Xingzhu's puzzled expression, she added slowly, "But it was after I finished tutoring her."
...Less than a year ago. Was that really "a long time"?
Watching Bai Xiying's genuine demeanor, Lin Xingzhu chose to remain silent about her thoughts.
Bai Xiying propped her chin on her hand and asked softly, "What's wrong? Do you have any more questions? You're not still doubting me, are you?"
Regarding the matter of rebirth, Bai Xiying wouldn't reveal anything until she fully understood Lin Xingzhu's background—or more specifically, until Lin Xingzhu herself revealed it.
