"You!"
The tall little girl was enraged when she saw Sheng Jing's reaction. Clutching the small card in her hand, she turned around angrily. Before leaving, she gave Yuan Tiantian a fierce glare.
Yuan Tiantian: "..."
What should she do? She felt like she was caught in an unjust situation.
After the little girl left, Yuan Tiantian winked and made faces at Sheng Jing. Seeing her like this, Sheng Jing's face darkened even more.
Yuan Tiantian thought he was angry because of the joke, so she quickly stopped.
However, Sheng Jing's mood didn't improve much.
Yuan Tiantian was a bit at a loss. She didn't know what was wrong with Sheng Jing. She was also a bit annoyed with herself, feeling like a fool. Ling had already told her that Sheng Jing's mood was a bit off. Why did she still make jokes with him?
The other two kids and another adult were completely unaware of the "drama" between Sheng Jing and Yuan Tiantian. They were immersed in the joy brought by the hot pot.
After the meal, the four of them returned to the hotel.
Yuan Tiantian booked two rooms. Sheng Jing and Bai Ying got a standard room, while she booked a big - bed room with the two kids. She didn't feel comfortable leaving the two girls alone in a room.
The two little girls might have been too excited in the car during the day, so they were sleepy early tonight. At 10 p.m., after they finished washing up, they obediently climbed into bed and fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillows.
Looking at their cute sleeping faces, Yuan Tiantian reached out to pull up the quilt they had kicked off and covered them again. She smiled slightly.
Yuan Tiantian also climbed into bed, planning to rest early.
They still had to continue their journey tomorrow. There was still one - third of the way to go, and they would arrive in City B tomorrow afternoon.
However, after getting into bed, Yuan Tiantian tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
She didn't know if it was because she went to bed too early or because she was thinking about Sheng Jing's gloomy face today.
"Sigh."
Yuan Tiantian let out a soft sigh. Then she looked at the two little ones beside her. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, she quietly got out of bed and walked onto the open - air balcony of the room. She wanted to go out for some fresh air and see if she could fall asleep soon.
On the balcony, Yuan Tiantian stretched and let out a satisfied sigh. When she turned her head, she met Sheng Jing's gaze.
"Ah!"
The bright eyes looking at her in the dark night really gave Yuan Tiantian a scare, but she quickly calmed down.
"Sheng Jing, can't you sleep?"
Her open - air balcony was on the left of Sheng Jing's. Yuan Tiantian walked towards the far right, which was the closest place to Sheng Jing's balcony.
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, Sheng Jing nodded slightly at her, then turned his head to look straight ahead and didn't give Yuan Tiantian another glance.
Yuan Tiantian felt a strange feeling in her heart.
After thinking for a while, just as Sheng Jing was about to turn around and go back.
Yuan Tiantian quickly asked.
"Sheng Jing, were you angry today?"
Yuan Tiantian looked at Sheng Jing and asked carefully. Hearing this question, he stopped his steps to go back into the room, turned his body sideways, faced Yuan Tiantian's direction, and then said lightly,
"What do you think?"
He didn't answer Yuan Tiantian's question directly, but just asked a rhetorical question.
Looking at Sheng Jing's appearance, with his deep and profound eyes and a gloomy face just like in the afternoon, Yuan Tiantian naturally had an answer in her heart.
"You were angry."
Yuan Tiantian said definitely. Hearing this answer, Sheng Jing didn't show any emotional fluctuations.
She stared at him all the time. Seeing that his emotion didn't change much, she felt a bit unsure.
Just when she was about to make some awkward small talk with Sheng Jing and say that she was wrong, Sheng Jing spoke.
"Yes, I was angry."
After saying this, Sheng Jing didn't say anything else. Yuan Tiantian looked at him in a daze. He was really angry.
But why?
During the meal, Yuan Tiantian roughly knew the reason for his anger. She shouldn't have made jokes about him. But what about the anger issue that Ling had mentioned to her before? Yuan Tiantian still hadn't found the answer.
"Sorry."
Yuan Tiantian apologized seriously. Although she didn't fully understand the reason for Sheng Jing's anger, since she knew part of it and it was because of her, she naturally had to apologize to him.
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's apology, Sheng Jing didn't reply. He just looked at her more deeply. Looking at the little bit of confusion still in Yuan Tiantian's eyes, Sheng Jing couldn't help but smile helplessly in his heart.
He knew that although Yuan Tiantian was apologizing at the moment, she might not have understood the real reason for his anger. Thinking of this, a sense of powerlessness welled up in Sheng Jing's heart.
However, he himself was a bit confused about his inexplicable anger. It was really an unclear matter.
"It's okay. I just suddenly felt in a bad mood. It has nothing to do with you."
After saying this, Sheng Jing turned around and went back into the room.
Yuan Tiantian looked at Sheng Jing's back as he left, feeling a bit confused. So was he really just in a bad mood?
Thinking of this, Yuan Tiantian felt even more confused in her mind.
However, since Sheng Jing said so, Yuan Tiantian didn't think too deeply about it. Maybe he was really just in a bad mood. Everyone had such moments, right?
Even she herself had such moments occasionally.
Thinking of this, Yuan Tiantian nodded more definitely.
"That must be it!"
After getting the reason for Sheng Jing's anger, Yuan Tiantian felt like a heavy stone had fallen from her heart. She also turned around and went back into the room.
The two little ones had kicked off the quilt again. Yuan Tiantian took care of them and climbed into bed. This time, she fell asleep quickly. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she was in dreamland. Maybe it was because there was no more worry in her heart and she was tired from driving during the day. She slept very soundly.
The next day, Yuan Tiantian woke up to a tickling feeling on her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the two little ones were already awake. They were lying on either side of her, stretching out their fair and tender little hands and gently stroking her face.
No wonder she felt her face tickling. It was these two little rascals.
"Okay, so it was you two causing trouble."
Yuan Tiantian saw that it was only 6:30, so she wasn't in a hurry to get up. She played and laughed with the two cute kids for a while. After ten minutes, she took them to wash up. They had discussed last night that they would go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast at around 7 o'clock.
After all this, Yuan Tiantian opened the door and saw Sheng Jing and Bai Ying standing at the door. It seemed that they had been waiting for a while.
"Why didn't you knock?"
Yuan Tiantian felt a bit embarrassed, thinking that she had slept too long.
Sheng Jing didn't answer. Bai Ying glanced at him and also didn't say a word. He just pursed his lips.
He couldn't help but grumble in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't want to knock. It was this man who stopped him!
"Let's go. It's time for breakfast."
Sheng Jing got up and said to the others, then strode forward. Bai Ying followed closely behind. Yuan Tiantian took Xiao Jiu and Ling and also followed behind them.
During breakfast, Yuan Tiantian偷偷 glanced at Sheng Jing a few times.
Well, his mood was much better!
Sure enough, he was just in a bad mood yesterday!
