That night, Hong Chun stayed late writing as usual. But as she was in the middle of a complicated part, she lost focus. With her head bowed down, a bit of a smile bloomed.

"You're there." Gentle was her voice when she stated.

The light from the candles flickered and it was Si Hai who came out of the shadows.

He'd been watching her for a while.

And the tranquility present on her whole being whenever she held the brush... it left him wondering if she was the same miss he saw every day.

However, the spell was broken too soon when she opened her mouth.

"Did you only guess?" He too was unsure.

An average person shouldn't be able to sense him if he wanted to remain unseen.

The girl nodded with her unnerving smile. "It's because you're predictable."

She was only saying the truth.

Hong Chun didn't need the legendary martial arts hearing ability to guess that he would pay a visit tonight.

In fact, she was so certain, she made sure to stay later than usual. This guy would undoubtedly say a lot of things, she expected it.

So when she felt that weird feeling when someone's looking at you, she knew he was here.

Si Hai stared at the lady in front of him, numb to her derision.

Everything about her was just so plain.

Her face, body, family background, temperament, and talents. Even her smile was unassuming but something about it made him doubt if he was really seeing her.

However, this simplicity could be very dangerous.

Those who could hide this deep were never simple.

"Who are you?" His eyes were guarded.

Tonight, he should decide whether to kill her or not.

Unaware of the man's thoughts, Hong Chun answered like she always would.

"I'm nobody..." She paused and looked at him. "Even compared to you who's not that significant either."

Unlike the usual, Si Hai strived not to be taken over by his anger. He breathed deeply to control himself.

"How did you know me?" He walked closer to her in hopes of intimidating her.

Sadly, the lady wasn't paying attention again.

"Actually, I don't."

Both of Si Hai's hands twitched. He wanted to hurt someone.

He could still remember the shivers he felt earlier when he whispered to him, 'Curb your anger, great spirit.'

What did she mean?

Don't tell him she was merely joking at that time?

Seeing the agitation on his face, Hong Chun decided to stop playing. "I won't tell you as long as I feel your intent to kill."

Si Hai stared at her, not knowing what to react.

"In case it's not obvious to you, your plan is written all over your face."

This was the rare moment of having the former antagonist's sidekick clutch his chest to catch his breathing.

This girl would be the one to kill him due to anger!
