Rong Sheng took a deep breath, came back to her senses, and realized the person before her was Xiao Qingyu. She said indifferently, "I'm sorry, it was my fault for hitting you without cause just now, I didn't mean to."
She had mistaken Xiao Qingyu for Chu Yifeng.
Only Chu Yifeng would confess to her in such a forthright and blunt manner, without any subtlety.
When Xiao Qingyu heard her voice, a touch gentler than usual, his heart leapt with joy, "Doctor Rong, there's no need to apologize. If you want to hit me a couple more times, I wouldn't mind."
His well-timed joke eased the tension in the air.
Rong Sheng, whose nerves had been on edge all night, unconsciously let out a smile.
Xiao Qingyu was stunned by the sight before him, "Doctor Rong, you... you smiled?"
