"How… what…" Duan Ke didn't know what to say and was at a loss for words.

Jing Luo though, didn't mind that and flew towards her. Duan Ke didn't move and let him embrace her, her expression still frozen the same.

Duan Ke's face was particularly red, and the embarrassment was apparent. Jing Luo though, was fine and a wide smile was present on his face.

"You have certainly grown since the last time I saw you." Jing Luo said with a chuckle.
