Chapter 68 - 63: Fu Da’s Disfigured Face
This is the first time Fu Jichen called her Jianian. Compared to using her full name, the words "Jianian" from his mouth exerted much greater pressure.
Shen Jianian felt a chill, along with slight confusion.
What hatred and tears, did she cry?
Right, back then in the car, Fu Jichen pinched her chin and asked her what was wrong. Her eyes were uncomfortable with some sand, she rubbed them for a long time but couldn’t get it out, leaving her eyes aching and teary.
Fu Jichen probably misunderstood, thinking she cried over Pei Che’s photo, then cynically asking if it was hatred or sadness...
Shen Jianian didn’t want to explain and silently finished the noodles in the bowl: "Take your time eating, I’m going upstairs first."
She returned to her room and showered. Wearing soft pajamas, she lay down in bed. Lately, she always felt tired, and she fell sleepy shortly after closing her eyes.
Almost asleep in a daze, her waist was suddenly embraced, a body weight covering her.
The feeling of sleep vanished completely, Shen Jianian opened her eyes.
"You haven’t answered my question yet," Fu Jichen’s voice emerged from her shoulder crook, vague and soft, like drunken gibberish.
Yet he was distinctly sober, no trace of being drunk.
"What question?" Shen Jianian felt like a cabbage, having its outer leaves peeled away.
