Later on, Ruan Liuzheng never asked him what Zhu Yuchen wanted with him until they were headed home when he finally brought it up in the car, "Don't you want to know what Zhu Yuchen talked to me about?"
She gave him a curious look, "Why would I want to know?"
He didn't say anything, just drove sullenly.
Moreover, he didn't utter another word throughout the journey. It wasn't strange for him to be silent; he wasn't much of a talker to begin with. Of course, when he did speak, his words were always golden, but his expression had changed, becoming as cold as it had been some time ago. What was wrong with him? Was this some sort of intermittent revival of warmth?
