Seeing her flustered for the first time, the corner of Matthew Xi's lips curled a little up unconsciously. However, it immediately faded away when Zoey opened her mouth again.
"You act like you don't like me but you do, jeez..." Zoey murmured as a smug grin plastered across her lips.
'Ah?' Baffled that her conclusion on his kind gesture escalated to love so suddenly, Matthew Xi's undereye twitched.
Raising her gaze at him, Zoey pursed her lips and stretched it back to a smile. "Wait, are you smiling?"
"I am not." Despite the wrinkle near his lips because he smiled, Matthew Xi denied. It was not like he was lying... he was just unaware with the movement of his lips. "Eat your food. Stop saying nonsense." He added with his usual flat, inexpressive tone.
"Ey..." Beaming him a knowing grin, Zoey didn't press on it to give him a break. Regardless, she truly appreciated him for accompanying her today. If not, she'd truly cancel her meeting upon seeing that person.
