Shao Yihe’s question awakened the gradually distracted Mu Yun. His blurred gaze gradually refocused, and his eyes gathered again on her face.
“Little fool! Since I’m with you, of course I’m looking at you.” He smiled faintly, trying to pass it off casually.
But Shao Yihe was no fool, and certainly not easily deceived. On the contrary, her senses were quite keen. She always felt he was like a bottomless lake, deep and unfathomable. Every time she saw him, he always gave her a melancholic feeling, even though he had a smile on his face!
“What’s on your mind? Can you tell me?” She couldn’t help but ask.
She really didn’t want to see his perfunctory shallow smile anymore. She wanted to see his true, heartfelt smile.
“What did you say?” Mu Yun was so surprised that he even forgot to put on his usual mask-like smile.
Without a smile, he looked somewhat stern and scary. Shao Yihe was a bit timid, but after a shy smile, she mustered the courage to continue: “Did I guess wrong? Every time I see you, I feel like you have a lot on your mind. Although I don’t know the reason, I’m willing to share your pain and sorrow, as long as you’re willing to tell me.”
This woman is too scary! Mu Yun stared at Shao Yihe, feeling a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Her innocence and simplicity were completely an act! This woman was too clever. She could clearly see his usually well-hidden true emotions. She was definitely not a simple character.
Usually, Shao Yihe looked pure and innocent, but she must have been observing him secretly, like watching prey that had fallen into her trap.
But who would fall into whose trap, who would be whose prey, was yet to be determined. Her confidence seemed premature!
“Let’s go back!” Mu Yun suddenly stood up and grabbed his coat.
“Huh?” Shao Yihe was somewhat stunned. Weren’t they just talking nicely? Why would he suddenly decide to leave?
Mu Yun smiled apologetically. “Sorry! But I have something important to do later.”
His attitude remained gentle and polite, but Shao Yihe felt something was off. He seemed to have suddenly changed… his eyes had become so cold –
“No problem.” She obediently picked up her bag and stood up.
