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?

If the warmth of a kiss can conquer resentment...

A cool wind blew in from the window, the chilliness abruptly invading their moment of silence. Xiaye could not help but shiver slightly. She subconsciously clasped both her hands together, but just as she released them, she heard a loud crash. A scorching heat burned the back of her hand. In an instant, she felt her wrist being pulled away by a large hand.

"Careful."

His concerned tone revealed sensitivity.

At that moment, Xiaye also retrieved her gaze. Then, she realized that the back of her hand was scalded a little by the spilled tea. A dimness flashed in her still eyes as she felt embarrassed. She wanted to hide her hands, but before she could move, a pure white handkerchief was slowly extended to her.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly accepted it. She lightly wiped the tea that stained the back of her hand.

"Thank you."

Once again, she thanked him softly and an apologetic smile spread across her beautiful little face.

"Did you get hurt?" He frowned and looked at her slightly reddened hand as he asked.

Xiaye lightly shook her head. The light in her eyes seemed to be quite faint, yet she smiled and responded with some difficulty, "No worries. I'll just go back and ice it."

"What's so interesting about the sky, so much so that it made you this absent-minded?"

There was a glow in Mu Yuchen's eyes as he nonchalantly looked outside the window that Xiaye had gazed out of earlier. What entered his line of sight was the murky sky. It was boundlessly gray. The cold breeze that entered through the window seemed to bring some humidity, and one could vaguely see the drizzle that fell.

"I actually don't like to watch this kind of sky. The dripping rain makes me a little uncomfortable." Xiaye lightly covered her scorched hand and then followed his gaze and sighed softly, "It seemed like spring for City Z has come especially early this year. It isn't even Spring Festival yet and the weather's already like this."
