Han Huizhong felt a little uncomfortable but also at peace. He wasn't used to having such conversations.
But he quietly nodded. He looked away and parted his lips. "Th-...Thank you…"
For the first time, Caihong saw him too embarrassed. It could be seen by how he was fidgeting with his fingers and refusing to meet her eyes.
Caihong was satisfied after talking to him. She knew she couldn't let this awkwardness between them remain forever.
"En. I won't disturb your rest anymore. I will go and meet Xinyi-"
Her phone buzzed with a message, and she checked it. Han Huizhong darted his irises and saw a frown appear on her face. Her gaze slightly dimmed, and she put her phone away.
Curiosity filled him, and he asked, "Why the lines on your forehead?"
She looked up, surprised. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just Xiaosi's reply."
"And why does that make you seem so disappointed?"
She awkwardly smiled. "Nothing."
