Although nothing happened with Xie Ruotong last night, there was nonetheless some physical contact, and they slept in the same bed...
Song Yanqing took a deep breath.
After that, he did not initiate any conversation with Xie Ruotong.
After having breakfast together at the Duke Mansion, Xie Ruotong and Song Yanqing left after lunch.
On the carriage.
Both of them maintained silence, just as they had on the way there.
Xie Ruotong could in fact sense the change in Song Yanqing's emotion toward her.
Having rejected sharing a room last night, Song Yanqing must have seen her in a new light, but such regard did not last long. By morning, he was keeping a distance from her again, clearly not wishing to get too close.
For Song Yanqing, his heart was naturally still set on Xie Ruilin.
Regardless of whether his view of her had changed, he would distance himself from her.
Of course, the current Xie Ruotong harbored no expectations toward Song Yanqing.
