Qi Lei got up and took a glance at Xi Xiaye with a gaze that looked so gentle yet complicated.
Although Qi Lei and Xi Xiaye shared similar experiences, Xi Xiaye might not be able to connect with his true self. Even though he appeared cheeky all the time, he kept a lot of secrets to himself.
Xi Xiaye never really thought about that. She did not want to find out too much about him due to some other reasons as well, but there was also the relationship between Qi Lei, Mu Yuchen, and her, so…
Qi Lei chuckled when he noticed the complicated glance Xi Xiaye shot him. "I've told you about it before, and I'm sure you understand it as well. Speaking up about it can make you feel better at times, so take responsibility for your feelings. You don't have to feel pressured. We're still good friends. Mu Yuchen is a great man and you deserve him, but at times, I'll be here when you need me."
He seemed different than before, and his eyes seemed genuine.
