SHEN JI YUN started to feel nervous when Luo Yan suddenly went quiet. The other had closed his eyes and stayed silent. Had he said the wrong thing? Had he only made things worse? He waited, not knowing what to do, his hands still holding Luo Yan's.
As he was trying to figure out what to do, Luo Yan suddenly stood up and hugged him. The movement caught him off guard, and for a second he didn't know where to put his hands. They just hung awkwardly in the air.
"Yan Yan—?"
"Thank you," Luo Yan cut him off, his voice muffled against Shen Ji Yun's shoulder. "Thank you for saying what I needed to hear, even when I didn't want to. Thank you for giving me not only comfort, but the understanding I really needed."
