"What? You actually care whether we live or die?"
Lin Xihe kept her eyes fixed on Mu Ruoyan's face, trying to glean more information from his expression. However, she noticed a strange glint in Mu Ruoyan's eyes—a disregard for life and death, as if life and death were nothing more than the most ordinary and insignificant matters in the world to him.
