After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chen Yi knew he couldn't stay any longer. Before leaving, he picked up some candy from the bedside, peeled a piece, and handed it to her, saying, "Eat."
Lin Wanxiao found it difficult to refuse and ate it.
"Is it sweet?"
The candy was of course sweet, and Lin Wanxiao nodded and said, "Sweet."
"Then I shall treat you even sweeter in the future."
After speaking, Chen Yi smiled, gently stroked her head, and stood up to leave.
Lin Wanxiao was taken aback, her heart thumping unexpectedly, her ears flushed with warmth.
The door was gently closed, making an almost inaudible click.
The room returned to silence, leaving only Lin Wanxiao.
She maintained a half-reclining posture, the candy in her mouth slowly dissolving, its sweet taste spreading across her tongue.
She thought,
A small act of kindness,
...perhaps it's somewhat likable.
