"Xin'er."
Seeing Long Xin appear, Long Chen was surprised and softly called out her name. Chu Lingjun also turned her gaze toward Long Xin.
Long Xin merely gave a slight nod. Her slender fingers tightened into a fist before slowly relaxing as she walked toward them.
"Why are you here?" Long Chen asked.
"Did I interrupt you?" Long Xin retorted, her voice calm but carrying a hint of coldness.
Before Long Chen could speak, Chu Lingjun interjected, "Of course not. What Long Chen meant was, why are you still awake so late? What brings you up to the roof?"
Long Xin smiled faintly. "The room was too stuffy, so I came up for some fresh air. I didn't expect to find you two here."
"Me too. I just happened to run into Long Chen," Chu Lingjun said calmly, which was indeed the truth. She also wanted to spare Long Chen any awkwardness.
Being caught in the middle like this is never a pleasant feeling.
"What a coincidence," Long Xin said, offering Chu Lingjun a faint smile.
