From this hidden vantage point, she had a perfect view of Shen Yuan's relaxed form.
Shen Yuan was looking down at his phone screen. The worry that had previously furrowed his brow was now completely gone.
The faint, almost imperceptible smile on his lips seemed to silently soothe the lingering tension in the air, while also gently tugging at Li Zhi's heartstrings.

Li Zhi's fingers unconsciously tightened on the cold metal edge of the window frame, her gaze fixed on him, unable to look away.
'This guy… he's actually kind of handsome sometimes.'
Just as the thought popped into Li Zhi's head, Shen Yuan looked up abruptly, as if he had sensed her gaze.
Their gazes slammed into each other.
