She politely yet distantly said to Jun Ning, "…Ah Ning, you're here!"
It was only when Jun Ning got closer that she saw Lan Xihe's swollen eyes. Her attention was completely drawn to Lan Xihe's swollen eyes, so much so that she overlooked Lan Xihe's sudden politeness and distance toward her.
"Sister Xi He, what happened, why are you crying?" Jun Ning asked with concern.
Lan Xihe glanced at Ye Ying, who was drinking tea and ignoring her.
She pressed her lips together, not saying anything, but tears fell uncontrollably.
"Why are you crying again?"
Jun Ning was a bit flustered, hurriedly taking a handkerchief from her belongings to help Lan Xihe wipe her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears fell, as if there was no end.
Finally, Ye Ying impatiently coughed a couple of times and gave Lan Xihe a warning look, which stopped her from crying, and her tears ceased.
However, she was still choking on sobs.
