The smile on the girl's face was exactly the same as the first time she saw him.
Like a soldering iron, it was deeply engraved in the depths of Quan Jue's soul, never to be erased.
Quan Jue slammed the window shut.
He heard the cage in his heart collapse. The trapped beast had come out.
Initially, he thought that she had already left. He didn't expect her to still smile so brightly at him after saying such overboard words.
"Jiaojiao, this is your choice." A low voice escaped from his thin lips. A look of determination flashed across the young man's dark eyes as he turned around and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Standing under the street lamp, Chi Jiao's lips curled up when the kitchen window was abruptly slammed shut.
She was still worried about Quan Jue and wanted to know what was going on with his leg. After hesitating for a while, she still came looking for him.
Since she was already here, with Chi Jiao's personality, she naturally wouldn't leave.
Therefore, she decisively decided to go up and look for Quan Jue.
Chi Jiao had just taken two steps when she heard hurried footsteps coming from a building not far away.
Immediately after, a familiar figure entered Chi Jiao's line of sight.
When she saw Quan Jue, Chi Jiao couldn't believe her eyes and couldn't help but freeze on the spot.
Quan Jue was holding a black coat in his hand. He quickly walked up to Chi Jiao and quickly wrapped the coat around her. Then, he reached out and brushed the snow off her head. "Are you stupid? Why are you still standing here when it's snowing? "
Chi Jiao could tell that there was a hint of anger in Quan Jue's usually cold tone. She looked up at him. "It's the first snow of this winter. I want to enjoy it properly."
Being stared at by the girl, Quan Jue's handsome face blushed slightly. He turned around and said, "Then, enjoy it here."
"But it's too cold. Can I go upstairs and sit for a while?" Chi Jiao asked softly as she caught up with him.
"Up to you." Quan Jue's voice was naturally cold and low, but now, it sounded a little lazy and casual.
Chi Jiao pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't know why Quan Jue's attitude towards her had suddenly changed, but she liked it very much.
This building was an old one. There were no lights in the stairwell, so it was very dark.
Quan Jue took out his phone and turned on the light.
Chi Jiao used the weak light to size up her shabby surroundings. Suddenly, a fair hand reached out to her.
"Don't cry when you fall."
Chi Jiao didn't notice the unnaturalness in Quan Jue's tone as she smiled and placed her hand in his.
The young man's fingers were distinct and cold.
But his broad palm was just enough to wrap around her hand.
As she allowed Quan Jue to pull her up the stairs, Chi Jiao could clearly hear her heart beating faster.
Quan Jue's rented apartment was on the third floor. The environment was rather old, but it was very clean and the floor was spotless.
Chi Jiao was about to change her shoes when Quan Jue said indifferently, "There's no need to change your shoes. I don't have female slippers here."
Chi Jiao looked at the shoe rack. There were only a few pairs of casual shoes on it, and they were all Quan Jue's.
It looked like Quan Jue lived here alone.
He got Chi Jiao to take off her coat and sit down on the sofa before going to the kitchen.
Not long after, he came out with a cup of hot milk and handed it to her.
