Hiding behind Bruce is a girl who looks to be only about 12 to 13 years old. Half of her body is hidden behind Bruce, but her appearance is still clearly visible with long pink slightly curly hair and thin bangs.
There is a yellow-orange flower clip on each side. The white and tender little face is framed with a small and straight nose. The beautiful facial features, especially the big blue eyes, shine with purity and clarity.

She was wearing a scaled-down version of the college's girls' uniform. Her small frame supported the outfit and she looked petite and cute. Plus, her absolutely adorable appearance made Xuan Shiran want to go up and squeeze her.
She had the urge to look at her face, but because she noticed her personal image problem in front of others, she resisted it.
The girl noticed that Xuan Shiran had been staring at her. Her little hands were tightly grasping Bruce's pants, and the half of her head that was stuck out suddenly retracted, and then she cautiously stretched it out again to take a sneak peek at Xuan Shiran, because
His little face turned red from nervousness, and his expression showed shyness and fear, which quickly attracted Xuan Shiran's attention.
