Shen Yue’s eyes were still red, but the moment she saw the man, her expression changed, and she broke into a smile, her eyebrows curving upwards. Her dark, moist eyes seemed to hold fragmented starlight, and her full, bright lips curved slightly, revealing shallow dimples.
“Xiao Luo, you’re so good,” she said.
Luo Kai blinked in surprise, his cheeks flushing quickly. Something spread from his boiling blood, gathering at the tip of his heart. His chest felt so hot he could barely breathe.
His face was covered in injuries, and the smile he offered was boyish.
His entire being was focused on the person before him.
In this moment, he felt happy.
Though the time was brief.
Shen Yue accompanied Luo Kai to a nearby hospital to get his wounds treated. There were no serious injuries. They stayed together for a long time, and it was only after sunset that Shen Yue took a bus home.
Spending the afternoon with Luo Kai had significantly improved Shen Yue’s mood. She felt that such matters needed to be clarified in person. After all, there needed to be basic trust between couples, and she couldn’t believe everything based on Lu Jin’s one-sided account.
With this thought, Shen Yue’s mood brightened.
She didn’t believe Xie Jiangsheng was that kind of person.
Winter was approaching, and the days were always short. Darkness fell quickly as dusk settled, and a few stars began to appear in the sky.
Shen Yue got out of the elevator and fumbled for her keys in her bag. Before she reached her apartment door, she saw a tall figure standing by the entrance. He had likely been waiting for a long time. The warm light from the corridor wasn't glaring and cast a faint halo around the man’s head.
As she drew closer, Shen Yue noticed the strong smell of smoke emanating from the man.
Since they had started dating, Xie Jiangsheng rarely smoked in front of her, but the scent of smoke on him was almost overpowering.
Due to the poor lighting, Shen Yue couldn’t clearly see Xie Jiangsheng’s face, but she knew he had been staring at her since she appeared, his eyes unblinking, dark and heavy, making the atmosphere feel oppressive.
Xie Jiangsheng must have been waiting for quite some time. He was still wearing the suit he hadn't had a chance to change out of. His figure was tall and straight, his hair impeccably neat, and his gold-rimmed glasses added a touch of charm to his handsome face.
With matters weighing on her mind, the moment Shen Yue saw his face, she thought of Lu Jin’s words. Forcing herself to remain calm, she asked, her expression unchanging, “What are you doing standing at the door? Don’t you have a key?”
Xie Jiangsheng lowered his head, looking at Shen Yue, and remained silent. Shen Yue keenly sensed the tension in the air. She looked up and met his gaze. His eyes were like the biting wind of a chilly winter day, dark and deep.
Shen Yue patiently asked again, her eyes clean and gentle, her eye corners tinged with red, as if she had been crying intensely just moments before.
