Chu Xici gently pulled a napkin and originally intended to help Yege wipe her tears, but hesitated for a moment and handed the napkin to her.
"Wipe your eyes!"
"Oh!"
Yege responded, reaching out to take the napkin from Chu Xici's hand, her fingertips inadvertently brushing against his hand.
In that instant, Chu Xici only felt the spot where her fingertips touched burn slightly, his eyes squinted, and his breath became a bit unsteady.
He couldn't help but ponder Fu Ziran's words.
His... little lover?
Chu Xici's mind was in chaos, like a country road after rain, muddied by the coming and going of passersby.
Chu Xici understood that this guy Fu Ziran was casual and liked to joke, and what he had just said was indeed a joke.
But what is said carelessly, is heard with intent.
Especially, after he unexpectedly started having such thoughts... these words became more sensitive, more poignant.
This was no less than another heavy blow to Chu Xici, a wake-up call.
