Chapter 4. Scalded
Xi Xiaye nodded slightly as she lowered her gaze and took another sip of tea. She thought for a moment before she decided to plainly explain, “When I was younger, because she was worried about my teeth, my mother limited my intake of sweet foods. When I grew older, I became used to it and my taste has always veered that way.”
Mu Yuchen smiled. Just as he was about to say something, his handphone by his side suddenly buzzed again. He looked apologetically at Xi Xiaye before picking it up to answer the call.
The call was from Wang Hui, who was asking Mu Yuchen whether he had made it on time for the appointment.
When he heard Wang Hui’s anxious tone, Mu Yuchen could not help but frown. He listened to Wang Hui grumble for a while before he answered exhaustedly and indifferently, “I’m already meeting her. We’ll talk again when I get back.”
He silently hung up and then looked at the person opposite him. He watched her with her teacup in a hand as her apathetic eyes gazed at the gloomy sky outside the window. The speakers started to play some familiar tunes —
Maybe love blinds us;
It’s a passion that makes one undaunted by dangers…
Who did love captivate?
Who surrendered to love, invading a loneliness besieged by the blaze?
