Lei Xing sat outside until the sky began to darken and then eventually went back to her room and laid on the bed. She stared at the corner where the box of jewelry he sent was kept and then thought of his back view she saw today. He was walking away, and she stood there in the background, unnoticed and unimportant to him.
His hurt expression flashed through her mind and Lei Xing frowned and squeezed her eyes shut, willing her mind to be quiet and empty. She laid there quietly and then heard the door open and her heart jumped but she did not open her eyes, feeling nervous...with reluctant anticipation.
As the footsteps drew closer, Lei Xing realized it was one of the maids, the footsteps were too light. Then she heard someone lightly sigh and then departing footsteps. Lei Xing slightly opened her eyes just to confirm what she already knew and she sighed when she saw Ah Jin's departing back.
{...He's not coming...}
