177 Miss her

Long Jie nodded at his father-in-law. 

He walked in her direction and sat beside her. Noticing someone beside her, she turned around only to find Long Jie staring at her. She gave him her recent well-practiced smile. 

He scooted close to her and pulled her closer to his chest. "You scared me, do you know it?" 

Zhenyi blinked at him.

 "Of course, you don't," Long Jie muttered under his breath. 

These days she had been scaring him a lot. Her behavior, her mood, everything about her was scaring him to the core but he never talked about it loud because he knew if he asked questions, she would distance herself from him like she had been doing lately. 

He put his hand in the water and sprinkled the drops of water on her face. 

"What are you doing?" She couldn't help but ask as he sprinkled water on her face. She just took a bath this morning and now he was getting her again.
