After seeing off Yan Han, despite it still being early, Zhu Qianying did not feel like returning to the Old Yan's house. She randomly picked a 24-hour coffee shop to sit in. Taking out a recently purchased novel from her bag, she quietly read, awaiting the bustle of the new day in the early dawn.
Zhu Qianying was right in the middle of an emotive portion of the book when Cheng Ye's phone call came in. When she answered, her voice carried a slight nasal tone.
"Ying Zi, are you not feeling well?" Cheng Ye always had a keen sense for Zhu Qianying's status.
"No, I was just reading a book and got to a touching part."
Zhu Qianying was incredibly candid which reflected rationality in every aspect.
It's as if the Zhu Qianying who was spirited and wild around Yan Han never existed around Cheng Ye.
Perhaps, deep in her subconscious, Zhu Qianying never considered Cheng Ye as the person before whom she could be her real self. Thus, she has always been frighteningly rational around him.
