Xu Mey kept glancing at Ye Jie while eat in silence making her feel uncomfortable. She wasn't used to his silence. She was starting to like his sweet and smooth talking. Him always trying to tease her with his words. Or warming her heart with his actions.
Today, he had the same gentle look in his twinkling brown eyes. That beautiful charming smile that could melt her anytime and anywhere. But he felt distant. Like he was alone. Surrounded by a shadow of gloominess.
After the dinner, Ye Jie helped her with the dishes. And they walked to the living room with Maojian tea and sat down on the sofa. "Ye Jie!" Xu Mey called out his name softly. Ye Jie looked up at her and smiled gently. "Is everything alright?"
Ye Jie nodded. "Of course. What could be wrong?" Ye Jie was avoiding her discernible gaze knowing well enough that she could see things even he couldn't.
