Real laughter…
Shui stared at Lin, thinking about his words.
"It's difficult to keep moping around for too long, isn't it? If I don't laugh, then how will everybody know that everything is fine?"
"You want to lie to people?" Lin blinked.
Shui smiled. "If you don't smile in front of Alix, then you are afraid she would feel guilty, don't you? Guilty of not loving you back. You don't want her to feel that way, do you? So even if it hurts you inside, you will still smile."
Lin gave it a long thought and felt it was true. No matter how crushed he would be inside, if Alix was in front of him, the only thing she would ever see on his face would be a smile.
The silence broke with a call ringing on Shui's phone and she saw an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"M-Miss. Han! Th-This is Miss. Han's number, isn't it? I-I'm Ru Yi!"
Her eyes widened. "Ru Yi? Yes, tell me what happened? And why do you sound so scared?"
Lin was taken aback too and, he who was about to leave, stayed where he was.
