After returning to the Qin Family, Qin Wu didn't go to find Qin Hanzhong first, but headed straight for Mi Lan's place.
Outside Mi Lan's room, Qin Wu lingered for a long time before finally knocking on the door. "Young Miss, are you awake?"
It was almost dawn and most people were still asleep. Qin Wu knew that visiting at this hour was a bit abrupt, but he felt uneasy, needing to get something off his chest.
To his surprise, Mi Lan seemed to have been awake for a while. She swiftly opened the door upon hearing Qin Wu's knock.
"Brother Wu, do you need something?" Mi Lan's eyes were dark from lack of sleep, clearly having stayed up all night.
Furthermore, Mi Lan was still in her clothes and her hair was a bit messy.
Seeing her like this, Qin Wu opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
"Brother Wu, what's wrong?" Mi Lan asked again.
She knew Qin Wu had always liked her, but it was a silent, self-effacing kind of love. He never dared to express it openly.
