Plenty of scenarios were running through Rui Fei's mind at that moment and each had its own unique ending. His heart was beating hard against his chest as he stood there with clammy palms.
In that short time, he had already pre-enacted how this was going to play. Choosing to buy himself some time he asked yet again, "Huh?"
Ji Yao who had been lifting the porcelain cup of water to his lips paused with the rim of the cup barely touching his lower lip. His gaze was unfocused looking down as he placed the cup on the table with a soft thud.
He slowly glanced over at Rui Fei as though saying speak now or forever hold your peace. Rui Fei seemed to understand that look as he swiftly sat down opposite Ji Yao with an icy chill in his palms. Rui Fei nervously rubbed his palms like a first time offender at the principal's office.
Ji Yao didn't hurry him.
