"Who knows? Why don't you go ask him yourself?"
Tong Ji raised her hand, tossing away the empty milk tea to who knows where, and with a rub of her little hands, magically conjured a bowl of ice cream, topped with chocolate, cookie crumbs, and fruit slices. She scooped up a spoonful with the cherry on top, swallowed it whole, and squinted in satisfaction.
"Ah, it's great how times have progressed, Huai Shi... We should thank science."
She clicked her tongue in admiration, ignoring the rumbling sound from Huai Shi's stomach, and casually said, "Rather than that, I'm more worried about you."
"Me?"
Huai Shi laughed, "What is there to worry about?"
"What do you think?"
Tong Ji calmly ate her ice cream, but her eyes were fixed on Huai Shi's.
Until much later, he helplessly shifted his gaze and shrugged.
"Confused? Hesitant? Uneasy, or angry?"
