He sprang to his feet, startled. There was a dark mass of shadow under the table. It felt like someone was hiding under it.
“Who’s that!” The boy’s eyes narrowed cautiously.
Seeing this, Gong Jie moved towards him warily. “What’s the matter?”
The boy told him, “Someone’s hiding down there.”
Alarmed by those words, Gong Jie glanced over and demanded, “Who’s down there!”!!
“Shhhh.” A childish voice came from under the table.
The boy could tell from the voice that it was probably coming from a seven- or eight-year-old girl. A young girl? There was actually someone in this room?
Gong Jie was equally surprised. He hadn’t paid much attention when he’d entered the room with the boy, but given his vigilance, he normally wouldn’t have been unaware of anyone in the room until now.
The girl was just hiding there, even her breathing was light as a feather.
The boy did not let his guard down at the sound of a child’s voice. Casually, he pulled the curtain wide open and made a quick assessment.
The shadows fell away. In the sunlight, a little girl in a white lace-edged, one-piece nightdress was crouching under the table, hugging her knees. When she saw the boy drawing the curtains open, she, used to the gloom, instinctively shielded her eyes with her hand.
She was not frightened, but the sunlight was too dazzling. Her body shrank into a ball. At first glance, she looked like a furry snow rabbit! Her dark chestnut hair was slightly curled, like seaweed, and it covered her small back. Her beautiful tresses framed a tiny face. In the sunlight, it showed off her snow-white skin that made her look like a porcelain doll. It was clean, like clotted cream, without a trace of impurity.
Her face was too small. Her hands weren’t big to begin with, and when she covered her eyes with them, she was covering most of her face as well.
Gradually adapting to the light, the girl finally and cautiously lowered the hand from her eyes. However, when the boy saw her violet eyes, he was stunned!
This “little snowy rabbit” had eyes that were actually pure purple! It was too rare. Purple eyes were the rarest in the world.
The girl’s facial features were exquisite and deep set. Although her appearance was not considered mature, one could vaguely tell from the contours of her profile that she was likely of Eurasian descent.
The color of one’s iris is related to race. The further north one goes, the shorter the daylight hours one has, causing the amount of melanin in the body to decrease. Therefore, the pupils, skin color, and hair color also became lighter.
Asians mostly have dark brown irises, Africans black, and Europeans blue, gray, and green.
However, purple is relatively rare in the world.
There are very few people with purple irises. The color has nothing to do with genetic mutations, and it is not a sign of ill health. It was just that most people with purple irises are Eurasians.
The girl was beautiful, especially her purple eyes, which were like rare gems. She blinked and they sparkled.
Gong Jie was surprised as well. He also saw the girl’s purple eyes and was startled. This was considerably rare.
The boy frowned and twitched his lips. Before he could utter a word, the girl immediately shushed him. “Don’t let her know I’m here!”
As the girl spoke, she looked discreetly in the direction of the door, still carefully hiding in the corner, not coming out.
