Ling Yichen's enthusiasm was extinguished instantly. He was dumbfounded, clueless about what he did that offended Yun Jian. When he came back to reality, he asked her with a twitch of his lips, "No wait, Yun Jian, why can't I talk about it?"
"Because I said so." Yun Jian glanced at him before turning away to leave.
Since she was leaving, Si Yi followed suit. Zhang Shaofeng who noted the situation gave Ling Yichen a nudge with a chuckle before jogging to go after the pair. With Zhang Shaofeng trailing after Yun Jian and Si Yi, Zhang Jian went off too.
Ling Yichen did not follow them as promptly. Standing rooted with a big handful of candied fruit skewers, he frowned and could not help murmuring to himself, "Huh, did I say something wrong?"
