The Fox shares a sordid tale

Xiao Zai could tell Chu Yun was stalling.

They'd been soaking in the pool for minutes now, and all Chu Yun had done was thread water.

No one liked hearing the words "I need to tell you something", followed by a prolonged silence.

He was trying not to let his anxiety show, but his chest tightened each time Chu Yun swam over towards him with a conflicted expression on his face, only to swim away again to the other side of the pool.

"Have you changed your mind about talking with me?" he asked, when he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

Chu Yun stopped his aimless swimming, and drifted over to Xiao Zai's side, his gaze intent but turned inwards. He was having some internal discussion with himself. By now, Xiao Zai was well aware of how that looked on his face.
