Fu Shinian's heart skipped a beat as he tilted his head, listening carefully. But apart from the howling wind outside, he heard nothing.
Su Mu had already stood up from the ground. After a few seconds of silence in place, she started searching around. Fu Shinian followed closely behind her, no longer able to say the words, "It's just an auditory illusion."
Looking at Su Mu like this, he truly didn't know whether he should be the one to tell her the truth, or let her discover it herself. But no matter which option he chose, the final outcome would be the same: disappointment.
The coat draped on Su Mu slipped to the ground. Fu Shinian bent down to pick it up, intending to help her put it back on, but Su Mu suddenly stepped back, as if something had provoked her, staring at his face like he was a stranger.
Fu Shinian gazed at her, his tone softening significantly:
"Susu, put on your coat before continuing, okay?"
