I thought about it and fell silent.

I want to hug him.

Xia Lian didn't know what Wen Mo was doing inside, because Wen Mo hadn't told her, only saying that he was going to do something very important.

With a tightness in her chest, the girl stared blankly at the night sky outside the window for a while, even wondering if her cousin found her annoying and had made up a reason to stay away from her.

After thinking it over and over, her already simple mind became even more chaotic. She lay on her side on the bed, her eyebrows drooping slightly.

On the other side.

About two hours later, Wenmo stretched, put the things back in the drawer, and rubbed his eyes. Concentrating for a long time wasn't very comfortable, but fortunately, things had been progressing quite well these past few days.

"Alright, it's time to sleep now." He walked to the door and casually opened the tightly closed door.

The figure outside the door made him freeze in shock for a long time.

Xia Lian had been standing outside the door for some time now, seemingly waiting for a long time. Her lifeless eyes revealed no emotion, as she simply waited for the door to open.

"Uh, how long have you been waiting? I..."

Wen Mo scratched his head, about to say a few words of comfort, but the girl seemed not to hear him. She walked straight to the bedside, lay down on the other side of the bed, and then stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

Wen Mo felt a little strange and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder, but Xia Lian moved forward a little more without even turning around.

It's like... she's deliberately avoiding him?

Xia Lian closed her eyes, showing no outward reaction, but in reality, her heart was already filled with many different emotions.

She lay on her side, feeling the warmth behind her, which made her want to turn around and face Wen Mo, but Xia Lian closed her eyes, stopped thinking about anything else, and even pouted.

Just because she felt that Wen Mo had been really mean lately...!
