Si Lianye's hand, which was placed on her slender waist, stiffened for a moment as it slightly tightened. Shen Xiran could feel the other party's strength, but she only knitted his brows and didn't say anything.

The temperature of the room was just right, it was neither too hot nor too cold, but the two people who stood in the dining hall could feel the chill emitted from each other's bodies. Finally, Si Lianye slowly let go of Shen Xiran's waist and stood beside him with heavy steps.

When Shen Xiran heard his voice, he didn't have any expression on his face. He lightly sat down without a trace of awkwardness.

Seeing that, Si Lianye sat down beside her.

Si Lianye helped her carry a bowl of rice, then placed the chopsticks on top of the bowl and appeared to be considerate and considerate.

He picked up the chopsticks with one hand and started to eat, but since one of her hands was injured, she ate very slowly. Whenever Si Lianye saw her at the side, she would help her pick up the dishes and place them into her bowl.

Shen Xiran stared at the small mountain of dishes in the bowl, his eyebrows knitted together, showing a trace of impatience.

He stood up, and was about to complain about the unhappiness in his heart when he saw Si Lianye's pair of deep eyes staring at the nearby Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, and then put a piece into her bowl.

This dish had once been one of her favorite dishes.

When Shen Xiran's gaze landed on his face, Si Lianye could also feel his gaze. When their gazes met, Si Lianye's face was even more stern, causing others to not be able to guess what he was thinking.

Even if they met again, Shen Xiran still wouldn't be able to see through this man.

It was just like back then when he had lurked around her for so long, only then did she realize that he was trying to get along with her because of her kidney.

”Eat, if you don't eat it now, it'll be cold.”

Si Lianye saw that she was looking at him with a puzzled expression, but she didn't seem to be looking at him at all.

In the past, everything she thought was on her face. But now, she wasn't as naive and innocent as she used to be. Instead, there was an extra flirtatious, and each of them had their own kind of flirtatiousness.

And she was the only one that could make his heart tremble, before and now.

”I'm done eating. You go ahead and eat.”

Shen Xiran withdrew his gaze from his face, and after glancing at the bowl of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, he stood up and left his seat with an indifferent expression. Just as he was about to leave the dining hall, Shen Xiran suddenly halted his steps and said without turning her head, ”If you're done eating, I'll have to trouble you to wash your bowl. ”It can't be washed.”

After Shen Xiran finished speaking, he left.

Si Lianye sat in front of the table and chair, staring at the remaining food on the table, in a daze.

When they met again, she made Si Lianye feel fear. Sometimes, even though she had a trace of intimacy in her words, Si Lianye couldn't feel the slightest bit of goodwill from her. Instead, it was a type of disgust that went deep into the bones.

After standing up and swiftly cleaning up the tableware, Si Lianye went back to the kitchen to busy herself for a while.

When he returned to the hall once again, she did not see Shen Xiran's figure. Immediately, Si Lianye quickened her pace, and walked towards her inner chamber. As he walked, he even shouted loudly: ”Xi Ran … ”Swish …”

His voice was loud and echoed around the room.

Shen Xiran was inside the bedroom, and when she heard the voice, she felt that it was very familiar. He had dreamed back to many times in the middle of the night, where his gentle words were like poison to her ears, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.

Thus, when she first heard the other party call out her name, her face revealed a trace of happiness. Just as she was about to get up from the bed, her movements immediately froze.
