While he drank the water, Shen Heyu, perhaps out of a guilty conscience, occasionally fixed her gaze on him. When she saw he truly did drink from the bottle, she subtly let out a sigh of relief.
No sooner had Pei Yansi swallowed a mouthful of water than he looked up at Shen Heyu to find her eyes darting away like a child who had done wrong and wanted to look at an adult but didn't dare.
He frowned.
He could easily sense that something was off about her. Although she was usually afraid of him regarding that issue, beyond those matters, she would always face him with determined defiance.
She would never look at him with eyes full of anxious dread.
Having noticed this anomaly, he didn't say anything, but slightly narrowed his eyes and silently observed her. Seeing that she made no move, he deliberately took another sip of water.
Seeing her gaze sharply turn back to him, the initial worry surfaced in her small eyes as she continued to stare at the water bottle in his hand.
