Standing by the couch, Wang Shi braced himself when he saw Suyin walking in through the door. He glanced at the watch. Eleven O'clock. Quite late. His restlessness only increased when neither she greet him nor she asks about his day, and just stared at him from a distance.
The silence was worse.
His gaze moved down. She was holding the asylum pass where Zena was kept. Kicking his anxiety at another level.
"Hey, I-"
"Have you eaten dinner?"
The question surprised Wang Shi, "Yes. And you?"
"Yes,"
Both lied.
She walked to the couch. "Sit down. This is going to be a long talk. And difficul-est." He just can't guess anything by her neutral tone. However, it was the first time she didn't ask him to sit with her but pointed at the one across.
Phew! Finally.
This chapter though only 1100 words, took me the longest to write.
I can feel their emotions. :(
The next chapter is again a difficult one.
