When I didn't pay attention before, I might not have cared about these things.
But once you start noticing, you realize you're being slowly eaten away, bit by bit.

Pei Huai didn't actually take long to wash the dishes and come back.
But when he returned, he could clearly feel that Jiang Ran's mood had changed.
Jiang Ran still sat there quietly, even her posture hadn't changed.
