The image of Lu Zhichen, who was acting weak and seeking comfort, was a huge disillusionment for Xing Jiuan. However, Xing Jiuan had already seen it so many times that she was no longer as uncomfortable as before.
"Talking to someone you like?" Ji Shu suddenly whispered in her ear, not letting anyone else hear.
Xing Jiuan could no longer be bothered to reply to Lu Zhichen. She looked at Ji Shu in surprise and quickly replied, "How is that possible?"
Ji Shu smiled at her. "You're smiling very happily."
"I'm not. I didn't." The retort was instant.
However, there was a tinge of guilt in her tone that she did not notice.
She didn't like Lu Zhichen!
Ji Shu agreed. "Alright, alright. You don't like them."
It was as if she was coaxing a little kid. It was indulgent and somewhat biased, but only she knew if she truly believed Xing Jiuan or not.
Xing Jiuan lowered her head again and continued reading Lu Zhichen's message.
