He crouched mid-air and gently grasped the petite hand of the young girl.
He spread her fingers and slipped the ring onto her middle finger.

The girl stared at the ring in a daze, her eyes welling up with tears.
The greatest hope of Bailuo was simply to stay by Lin Da's side, to watch him even from afar—that was enough for her.
She had never imagined she could become Lin Da's oath-bound companion.
This sudden happiness left her utterly overwhelmed.
"Stupid teacher, I hate you the most!" Bailuo wiped her tears and lightly pounded Lin Da's chest with her fists.
