Sheng Jiayu pursed her lips and explained again, "It's flooded outside, and it's getting dark, not very safe."
Her explanation was completely unnecessary. Even if she didn't explain, Mu Ke wouldn't think her invitation had any other meaning.
But now, as he looked at the woman standing amidst the candlelight, in pajamas, wrapped in a coat, Mu Ke's heart couldn't help but feel touched.
He wasn't playing hard to get; in fact, after knowing Sheng Jiayu was avoiding him, he reflected on whether he had been too pushy.
And today, if it weren't for these unexpected circumstances, he would also have patiently waited for her to slowly come out of her shell.
So, when he said he was leaving, he was serious. But now, the person who had moved him to this day was standing in the candlelight, inviting him without any ulterior motives.
Mu Ke's previous patience was thrown to the nine heavens; this woman... really left him clueless about what to do.
