After Cheng Lie finished drinking, he handed the cup back to her.
The boy's expression remained indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
It was as if he had drunk his own water, not someone else's.
Even though Yun Shifei's water bottle was newly purchased for this trip, and she hadn't even used it herself, Cheng Lie drinking unhesitatingly, without caring if she had drunk from it before—was this really okay?
Yun Shifei felt something wasn't quite right.
She stared at Cheng Lie for a while.
The boy lowered his gaze, his long lashes casting shadows beneath his eyes, making his pale skin appear even more snow-like.
His thin lips were gently pressed together, giving him an unusually quiet and well-behaved look.
So well-behaved that one couldn't bring themselves to blame him.
Yun Shifei stayed silent, guessing Cheng Lie's motives for his actions, and eventually asked, "Did you forget to bring water?"
Cheng Lie nodded.
So that was it! He was probably thirsty.
