His words echoed in her ears like a sweet whisper. Wei slowly raised his hand. As his fingers brushed against her cheek, her heart loudly pounded in her chest. Lihua slightly jumped with the intimate contact, turning her face bright red.
"B-Boss...what do youโฆ" she flustered in shyness.
Wei's sight traced her blushed cheek. He felt she looked cuter with red cheeks.
"It will be all... silent again if you leave. I like it when you talk."
Even Wei didn't understand when Lihua's presence kept on growing bigger and bigger in his life. It had been only a few days since he met her, but he felt as if he already couldn't live without her company. The gleam of her eyes and the laughter on her lips had wormed in his heart to its deepest roots.
He never minded the silence before. But now it pricked him. He hated the stillness in the air that was brought upon by her absence.
Lihua lowered her head.
