Arc 3.24 A drop of rain

He left. He really left. Shen Jiyu stared at the space before him in shock and then at his empty hand. Shen Jiyu thought of how those silver eyes had widened in amazement and the way those ears had turned red. Had he been embarrassed?

A small smile appeared on his lips and he sat on the bed. Come to think of it, he never told Feng Mian all these things, how he thought of him, it had always made his heart race so he ended up not going through with it. But now, it was as if something had changed, he felt as if the veil between them was slowly being lifted. 

This was good, he would run, and he would stay and wait. The person behind the veil was his… Forget it. He lay down and closed his eyes, a small smile on his lips.

The morning rays woke Shen Jiyu up and he could hear noises outside the door. He took a quick bath and changed his clothes. He opened the door and saw Mei carrying a large basin.
