The air pressure in the apartment is so low, it feels like it could implode at any moment.
Qin Mu, who is on her period, is wearing leggings and a long sweater as she nests on the sofa, occasionally glancing at the man seated beside her. He is carefully studying the documents Xi Meng brought him, his indifferent expression making it difficult for anyone to make a sound.
Xi Meng stands to his side, observing his expression and then looking at Qin Mu's tense demeanor, not daring to utter a single word.
"Do you want some tea?"
Qin Mu asks her softly.
Xi Meng tries to manage a slight smile and shakes her head at her.
Qin Mu nods, and the two women exchange glances for a while, then Qin Mu silently hugs a hot water bottle while scrolling through her phone. Xi Meng remains standing straight behind Mu Yichen, watching him sign his name in the bottom right corner of the last page of the documents with such force that it seems like the signature might pierce through the paper.
