Wen Mian's words were a prompt for Pei Zhiyao to chase after Pei Qingqing.
Yet, he had already been disappointed in Pei Qingqing.
How could he pursue Pei Qingqing to clear the air, just after scolding her?
Pei Zhiyao shook his head, adamantly refusing to go.
In the face of Wen Mian's persuasion, Pei Zhiyao was even more resolute.
"Don't worry about her, she'll be fine after a while. Let's go, I'll take you home first."
Pei Zhiyao's intentions left Wen Mian with no grounds for argument.
She followed Pei Zhiyao out the door and into the car, as docile as a quail.
It wasn't until they arrived at the rental house that Wen Mian took the initiative to invite:
"Come in for a drink of water?"
Their recent relationship hadn't been icy to the point of awkwardness.
To close the distance between herself and Pei Zhiyao, Wen Mian finally took the initiative to invite him over.
Pei Zhiyao's expression didn't change as he followed Wen Mian inside.
"You're quite normal today."
