As soon as her gaze settled, it was met by a pair of eyes as if sculpted from ice, half-transparent, staring back at her coldly.
The chill in those eyes was like an unexpected gust of cold wind, chilling one to the bone.
Shang Ruyi clenched her hand inside her sleeve, unable to suppress a slight shiver of her heart, and the next moment, she saw Yu Wenqian's lips slightly quirk up, revealing a faint, almost gentle smile.
Almost indistinguishable from how it had been in the past.
Yet, Shang Ruyi understood that he knew she had seen the coldness in his eyes just now, and he did not mind letting others see him withdraw that sharp edge and return to his former self.
Then, he smiled while holding Yu Mingyue's hand and slowly walked over, "Second Brother, Ru Yi."
Even the tone of his voice was almost the same as before. If it weren't for that personal experience by the lake at the Crown Prince Mansion that one night, Shang Ruyi would have doubted whether she was imagining things.
