"Alright now," Shi Zhiyan said, and Shi Li finally let herself relax completely.
But her relief was short-lived.
Shi Zhiyan's expression was not good.
He was clearly in a mood.
But at that moment, Shi Li had no intention of placating him.
She had only just managed to get a handle on her own emotions.
Where was she supposed to find the extra energy to manage his feelings?
'It's a wonder I haven't exploded myself.'
"Let's make a deal. Can you please not run off without a word next time?" Shi Zhiyan's voice was pleading.
He would rather have Shi Li just hit him than run off like that.
It had sent his mind racing, imagining all sorts of reasons.
"You scared me to death." Shi Zhiyan fell silent for a long time, only speaking again when the stillness had made them both restless.
"I would've suffocated if I didn't run."
"You're too scary," Shi Li said, turning her head away. She didn't dare look at Shi Zhiyan.
