Wen Changling pushed his hand away. "You guessed it, didn't you?"
She made a subconscious motion, touching her ear.
Xie Shang's hand stiffened.
Wen Changling had mentioned before that she lost her hearing after a high fever. He had also heard from Granny Zhu that Wen Changling's hearing loss occurred when she was twelve years old.
That was thirteen years ago.
A chilling suspicion suddenly took over his mind. After a momentary blankness, his breathing involuntarily softened. "How did you lose your hearing?"
Wen Changling was astonished.
Xie Shang was so clever that just a trace of a clue allowed him to deduce the whole picture.
"Do you really want to know?" Wen Changling's gaze was tranquil, her eyes moistened by the cool breeze, as if immersed in the lake water of a windless March. "How will you face me after you know?"
His heart was pounding violently, with a surging intensity. Xie Shang's gaze was fervent. "Tell me."
There was no hiding it anymore.
