The next day, Shi Yen slept in late because of her tired body and went to catch up with the others for lunch.
Yuan Shun, too, had just stirred from the bed, but he appeared to be still restless. Shi Yen frowned. She was wondering what was wrong with him. But was she even allowed to care for him? Would he let her if she tried?
Fang Qi had taken them on a hike, admiring the waterfalls and large hillside views.
Shi Yen noticed that Yuan Shun had avoided walking next to her or speaking with her whenever the opportunity arose. But it worked both ways, and Shi Yen didn't understand what held her back. What was she afraid of?
Afterward, they went fishing, and Yuan Shun watched as Shi Yen struggled to catch any, but he didn't bother to help her.
He went to one of the cars to get more tools when Fang Qi cornered him.
"Why are you ignoring Shi Yen?" he questioned, leaning against the car.
Yuan Shun opened the trunk. "What do you mean?" he asked him indifferently.
