"I'm serious."
Shen Zhilie was afraid that she wouldn't believe him. He looked into her eyes as he earnestly declared his words.
Ye Qianqian picked another slice of pizza up and shoved into his mouth. She replied, "I'm serious too."
Shen Zhilie had nothing to say to that. He took a bite of the pizza and put it down. The pizza was tasteless in his mouth as he chewed it.
Neither Shen Zhilie nor Ye Qianqian spoke after that. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
When they were done eating, they cleaned up and headed back to the bedroom to sleep.
Ye Qianqian's mood was down in the doldrums, as was Shen Zhilie's.
After tossing and turning a few times, Shen Zhilie was still unable to fall asleep. He turned around and pulled Ye Qianqian into his arms. "Ye Qianqian, just how do you feel about me?"
Ye Qianqian wasn't asleep. She could feel the heat from Shen Zhilie's body behind her. A ripple passed through her heart.
