Before, she pretended to be oblivious, so she was always unwilling to explore the deeper meaning in his eyes. Now, if she said she didn't understand, it wouldn't hold water.
"Mr. Ji..."
Clearly, it was the same way she always called him, but this time, when Le Tong said it, it felt particularly awkward. To Ji Rui's ears, it inexplicably carried a hint of shyness.
"Hmm?!" The man raised an eyebrow, a big question mark seemingly written on his face.
Once again, Le Tong turned her face away, not daring to meet Ji Rui's eyes, which were filled with so much meaning.
Instinct told her that he knew exactly what she wanted to say, but he was pretending to be clueless on purpose!
"Let go of me..."
Just because he played dumb didn't mean she had to play along. "I want to go to sleep."
Ji Rui saw the typically straightforward her awkwardly revealing an unusual side, and he found it quite endearing.
