Shi Che seed as if he hadn’t heard her at all, ignoring her completely, and Ling Chuxia had gotten used to his behavior. Biting her lip, she silently turned her head back and sat with her eyes on her nose, her nose on her mouth.
She had grown accustod to silence in front of Shi Che; after all, whatever she said or did, a careless move could easily anger him. Gradually, she dared not speak or do anything random in front of him. In his presence, she was like a puppet.
But today, perhaps because the carriage was too small, too constricting, she kept feeling sowhat breathless. The silence inside was eerily quiet, so unnerving that it made one feel uneasy without realizing it.
Ling Chuxia felt her lips were a bit dry. Subconsciously, she licked her lips; her pink, delicate little tongue peeked out, lightly brushing over her red lips, then withdrew in a very charming motion.
Although Shi Che was seriously driving, his gaze occasionally swept over her stealthily. He caught Ling Chuxia’s action fully, his eyes seemingly fluttering involuntarily, and he gripped the steering wheel even tighter.
Ling Chuxia didn’t notice Shi Che’s gaze; she only felt the air around her growing more and more oppressive. Although Shi Che wasn’t looking at her, she could still feel the cold aura emanating from him.
Ling Chuxia thought that she had to say sothing. If the atmosphere continued to be this oppressive, she didn’t know if she could endure the ride ho. There was still about an hour’s drive from here to their house.
Ling Chuxia thought about it and decided to start the conversation with the reunion, which seed like a relatively safe topic at the mont.
Ling Chuxia licked her dry lips again, organized her thoughts, and then spoke softly, "It seems like everyone has changed a lot, not much like how we were in university."
Shi Che hadn’t expected Ling Chuxia to take the initiative to speak, and for a mont, he was slightly startled, hardly believing his own ears, and even responded unconsciously, "Hmm?"
Ling Chuxia hadn’t expected Shi Che to respond to her either. Encouraged, her voice rose slightly, "I an, seeing everyone tonight, it seems like they’ve changed a lot."
A flicker of light flashed quickly across Shi Che’s eyes. It wasn’t his imagination; Ling Chuxia had really initiated a conversation with him, and it was about such a normal, relaxed topic, not like before when she would either be silent or speak only about tasks assigned by Mrs. Shi.
A hint of gentleness colored Shi Che’s brows, yet his facial expression remained unchanged, his voice still indifferent, "Is that so?"
