How was he doing…
Was he angry when she suddenly left?
Chris was entertaining some important people when he turned to look at her. She had an odd expression on her face so he excused himself to check on her.
He pulled Annie as they walked forward. Annie then snapped out of her thoughts, puzzled as she asked him, “You’re done talking already?”
“Yeah. There’s nothing much to talk about. What’s the matter with you? Are you unwell? You don’t look too good,” Chris asked her worriedly.
Annie shook her head and said, “No.”
Chris wouldn’t just let her bluff her way out of this so easily. He pointed to her nose and said, “You’re still denying? You were in a daze just now. What were you thinking about? Annie, ever since you came back, you have been lost in thought. You didn’t do this in the past.”
Annie was puzzled. “What’s wrong with being lost in thought? It’s boring, so I lose myself in my thoughts.”
“Boring?” Chris stared at her little face, his voice sounding hurt as he said, “Do you feel bored when you’re with me? What you say makes me sad.”
“It’s not like that…” Annie hurriedly dismissed it.
“Okay then. It’s my fault. I should have found a way for you to be happy, otherwise you wouldn’t be bored.” Chris took the blame for it.
After all, he was about to be her fiancé, making her happy was part of his duties.
Annie looked up at the bright crystal lamp above her, which brought out the classiness of the banquet hall.
Though she had already gotten used to the scene here, her mind was distracted in the moment as she pictured Ye Sijue and all the beautiful scenery she had seen back when she was in China.
She realized that she preferred the life she had back in China.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t return to that anymore.
Those wonderful days were gone forever.
As Annie thought about Ye Sijue, she couldn’t help but feel dejected.
Their paths wouldn’t cross again, would they?
Chris arranged the hair near her temples. Bring his mouth to her ear, he said thoughtfully, “Let’s go take a walk in the courtyard, shall we? Maybe this will help you feel better.”
“Mm, okay,” Annie agreed.
Thus, she took Chris’s arm as they walked to the courtyard that was connected to the banquet hall.
The breeze caressed them. The air temperature was not too low, and the wind wasn’t strong.
But Chris, in a gentlemanly manner, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulder.
“No need. You wear it.” Annie shook her head at him.
“No can do. You are my precious. If you catch a cold, I will be very distressed.” Chris said with a smile, insisting that she put on the coat.
Annie didn’t know what to do with him, so she just left it on.
The two found a place to sit. Annie looked up at the pitch-black, night sky, her heart stirring.
She asked Chris in a soft voice, “We see the same moon no matter which country we’re in, right?”
Ye Sijue, are you watching the moon right now?
If you are watching, then we are looking at the same moon.
Chris gazed deeply at her little face as if he could see her emotions, and he asked, “Are you thinking about someone?”
It didn’t feel right to shake or nod her head, so she kept silent instead.
