The night was drawing to a close, the breeze coming from Hainan carried a faint chill, yet could not dispel the lingering warmth of the day.
Qi Lie was sipping Litchi Wine, chatting casually with Jiang Ruan, but he could clearly feel that tonight, his little childhood friend was not in high spirits, seemingly all because of Yan Chi's arrival.
It's not that he's overly perceptive or overly observant, but he's too familiar with Jiang Ruan. The contrast in her mood before and after is too hard for him to ignore.
Jiang Ruan also felt that she wasn't acting well. Qi Lie had traveled all this way to see her; she couldn't let him feel uncomfortable. She looked up and smiled at him, "I have a few more days of classes before returning to Beijing, so I can't accompany you. What are your plans?"
"Wasn't it you who said you'd take me around for food and fun when I got here?"
"I said I'd cover the food and drinks."
