Changes in Yu Chu Xue's Attitude (2)

..

In the villa.

Wrapped in a plush towel, Yu Chu Xue's eyes lingered on the space where Zhao Yu had vanished, feeling a poignant mix of emotions before retreating back to the private karaoke chamber.

Closing her eyes, she inhaled deeply, letting the lingering scent of him envelop her senses.

When she opened her eyes again, they were drawn magnetically to the camera.

"Why didn't you press record?"

Being the owner, she was well-acquainted with the workings of that device. She knew Zhao Yu had been bluffing, that he hadn't recorded anything.

That intense half-hour had shifted her perspective, leaving her both vulnerable and introspective.

Yu Chu Xue reached for her phone.

After a short search, she found a picture of Zhao Yu in a group chat. She enlarged it, her gaze locked onto his features.

With a breathless anticipation, she brought the screen closer, her lips brushing the image of him.
