Dong Huiying stood by the bed, Liang Zhichen lying on it. They locked eyes with each other, his expression cold, hers bewildered.
After a good long silence, she tentatively asked, "Are you angry?"
He pursed his lips, "Liar!"
Then he rolled over again, facing the inside of the bed, showing his back to her.
Alright, it seems this man genuinely got upset by her. "I just went out for a little bit?"
She whispered, "I thought you were asleep. I was planning to come back before you woke up. Could you... could you just pretend I went to the bathroom, okay?"
Liang Zhichen: "..."
After another silence, he continued to face away from her, his words sharp as knives with a hint of self-mockery. "Altogether one hour and a half, the trip to the bathroom the wife took sure was long. Or maybe the wife fell into the bathroom? Why not say you got lost on your way to the bathroom and couldn't find your way back, that's why you were delayed so long?"
Dong Huiying: "..."
