He should have interrupted this heartfelt conversation but he was curious to see where it was headed. He maintained a blank expression to prompt Rui Fei to keep talking.
Seeing the aloofness written all over Ji Yao's face Rui Fei choked on his words. Was Ji Yao really upset about this? He had never thought about how Ji Yao would react to his confession. He guessed being upset was one of them. As long as he didn't react with disgust, Rui Fei would be hopeful.
Thinking he could be sincere and open up a little more he continued, "I don't know whe-." He couldn't get to finish his statement because the door was knocked with a great sense of urgency. Rui Fei wanted to continue but Ji Yao gazed at him intently as though asking, "Aren't you going to take care of it? You are the one closest to the door."
