Perhaps the smile seemed too delicate, so much so that when Li Weihuan saw it, he felt a slight discomfort. This discomfort caused him, almost subconsciously, to call out to Lun Ying as she was about to turn and leave.
"What is it? Is there something else?" Lun Ying turned back.
Li Weihuan cleared his throat, "It's like this, Jiajia, I came to you because I didn't know who else to turn to. Whoever I seek, I'm only met with rebuke and pity. I don't like it. I don't like the atmosphere, nor do I like how suffocating it is...So, I came to find you!"
Lun Ying didn't reply, waiting for him to continue.
"What I… what I mean is, I hope you won't get the wrong idea because of my visit... Being with you, I feel at ease, like you're family, but more than that, it's a comfort that leaves me feeling lighter... Do you understand what I'm trying to say? I..."
"I understand!"
Lun Ying interrupted the somewhat dazed Li Weihuan, the corners of her mouth adorned with a light smile.
