Yan Luoxi stood frozen at the entryway, suddenly feeling something amiss. Why did he enter her home as if he owned the place more than she did? And him coming so late at night, deliberately waiting for her to return, was it really just to ask for a glass of water?
Without a word, she changed her shoes, dragged her suitcase to the corner of the wall, and turned to head for the kitchen to boil some water.
To get him to leave sooner, she only boiled enough water for one cup, and when pouring it into the glass, she added almost half a cup of ice water in the hope he would drink it quickly and be on his way.
Being caught off guard like this left her feeling helpless.
Carrying the glass, she bent down and set it on the coffee table, saying, "I mixed in some ice water, it's just right for drinking. Go ahead."
