The male, who usually had a smile playing at the corners of his eyes, now held his lips in a tight line. His golden eyes, which always sparkled, were clearly avoiding hers.
Bai Wanwan narrowed her eyes and poked his taut abs with more force. "Someone's come looking for you. Do you really think playing dumb will get you out of this?"
"Wanwan..."
Yan Lie's Adam's apple bobbed. He wrapped his large palm around her troublemaking fingers, his brow knitting together.
His usually bright and lively eyes were now clouded with gloom, and even his voice was a few shades deeper.
Bai Wanwan didn't press him further, just watched him quietly.
The last rays of the setting sun filtered through a crack in the window, casting a small shadow beneath her eyelashes.
Yan Lie squirmed under her focused gaze, feeling completely uncomfortable.
After a long moment, his shoulders slumped in defeat. "It's my older brother... I don't want to see him."
