He thought of how respectfully Meng Xi'er called him "Mr. Lu", yet she intimately referred to Lu Qingchuan as "Qingchuan". This contrast made his heart feel uncomfortable.
Yet he didn't know where this discomfort came from.
All he could sense was...
Meng Xi'er had changed.
The young girl who used to trail behind him had become distant and overly respectful, which made him...
Unaccustomed.
Just like her form of address for him had changed from "Yebai," used in the past, to the present "Mr. Lu," both polite and distant.
Lu Yebai rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat bewildered by his own emotions.
She was not clinging to him, nor trying to ingratiate herself with him. Shouldn't he be happy?
Why did his heart feel so... uncomfortable?
It felt as if something was stuck in his heart. Every time Meng Xi'er called him "Mr. Lu" with that distant, respectful attitude, he felt an intense wave of irritation.
Was this also a form of unaccustomedness?
