Shi Che’s dark eyes opened again, no longer as deep and gloomy as before, but still carrying his usual indifference and detachment. This time when he raised his hand, he didn’t hold back and directly pushed aside Ling Chuxia’s hand, then stood up and went straight to the Dining Hall.
Ling Chuxia stared blankly at her brushed-off hand, unable to take a step for a moment.
Seeing this, Sister Hua thought Ling Chuxia was heartbroken and quickly came forward to comfort her, "Young Madam, don’t be sad. Relationships need to develop step by step. One day, the young master will appreciate your goodness!"
But what Sister Hua didn’t know was that she wasn’t heartbroken, but rather... just now when Shi Che seemingly pushed her hand away without a second thought, she didn’t feel any real force behind it. It was just a gentle nudge, which didn’t make her feel any sense of disgust.
Ling Chuxia slightly furrowed her brows, a glint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Although Shi Che had relieved his headache a little bit, he seemed to have no appetite. Sister Hua had made a bountiful dinner, but he only took a few bites, had a sip of soup, then put down his chopsticks. He glanced at Ling Chuxia, who appeared distracted with a fluctuating gaze, seemingly absent-minded as if dining with him was torture.
Shi Che’s expression turned colder. He forcefully grabbed a towel that was prepared beside him, wiped his lips, tossed it aside, and stood up to head upstairs.
From the moment Ling Chuxia sat down for dinner, her eyes had been wandering. She had been solely focused on massaging Shi Che’s headache earlier, completely forgetting about the medicine box under the couch. After sitting down to eat, she suddenly remembered it. Her attention involuntarily returned to the medicine box, thinking that after dinner, she must pick it up, dispose of it, eliminate the evidence to prevent any future problems!
So she didn’t pay much attention to how much Shi Che had eaten, nor did she notice him until he stood up and walked upstairs. It was then that she snapped back to reality. She unconsciously looked over at Shi Che, blinking her large eyes. Had Shi Che finished eating so quickly? Hadn’t they just started? She glanced around the table and saw that the food was mostly untouched...
Ling Chuxia’s expression dimmed slightly, and she clenched her chopsticks tighter. Shi Che couldn’t possibly have such a small appetite, but now he had stopped eating after a few bites. He must dislike eating with her, right? Suddenly Ling Chuxia had no appetite at all.
Just as Ling Chuxia was feeling downcast, Sister Hua burst out again, seemingly heartbroken, as if she wanted to shout at Ling Chuxia, "Young Madam, why are you always so slow to react? The young master has left; why don’t you hurry after him?"
Yet Ling Chuxia was somewhat dejected, speaking in a low and muffled voice, "He doesn’t want to see me. I’d better not bother him anymore."
