Qin Shanshan gritted her teeth and looked at Tang Yuanxiao, tears welling in her eyes.
"I'm not saying this to pressure you into repaying a favor. I just want you to understand how I feel."
Qin Shanshan glanced at the orchid by the door out of the corner of her eye, a trace of resentment flashing in their depths.
She had, of course, seen the orchid many times these past few days. At first, she hadn't thought anything of it, but then she remembered the orchids Su Li used to grow in Xinghua Village.
She didn't know that Tang Yuanxiao had specially dug it up to care for it, intending to give it to Su Li. She assumed Su Li had been the one tending to it.
She saw the plant had dried out, but she deliberately didn't water it, wanting it to die completely.
She wanted every shadow, every trace of Su Li to disappear from this house.
Qin Shanshan noticed Tang Yuanxiao's gaze, both when she had first walked in and now as she spoke to him.
