"And why is that?" was indeed the question of the century. This was the thing about Ji Yao he normally wouldn't say much but when he spoke his words were as heavy as the hand of death. It would be the type of words that could have one tongue-tied and at a loss.
This time it was Rui Fei's turn and he was no exception. Ji Yao had him so dumbstruck you would think he was stupid. All the smugness from earlier was gone replaced by a blank expression. He wanted to confess but not like this, not right now especially when he wasn't prepared.
He wasn't even emotional prepared but here he went stuck in a small space with his crush asking him why he treated him differently.
At this point, he didn't know that Ji Yao had figured out everything. He just thought Ji Yao still regarded this as an innocent brotherly relationship and nothing else.
