Shen Yue knew that Xiaoming's action was similar to his own; neither of them were watching the play but were instead making numerous judgments and deductions while observing thoughts.
In an era where everyone wears a mask, it's not easy to uncover the truth.
When Tian Ni'er walked in, Shen Yue's gaze shifted from her face to her feet.
Shen Yue noticed two things—there was something hidden behind Tian Ni'er's smile; it was forced, a common expression among women who didn't want their inner sadness to be seen. Also, Tian Ni'er was wearing a pair of new shoes with shiny patches on them.
Dress can highlight certain aspects of a person's character.
The low-key dress plainly, the ostentatious flamboyantly, and the introverted yet quietly vain often like to wear eye-catching clothing in inconspicuous places.
Tian Ni'er's dark red embroidered shoes were a reflection of her complex psychology—a desire to be noticed and yet a fear of being seen.
To want love, yet to fear getting hurt.
