Unexpected singing talent

*Knock knock*

"Guiying?"

Guiying heard Zixin's soft voice from outside her room as she calmed down her erratic breaths. "Yes?"

"Are you okay, Guiying? I was passing by when I heard a sharp gasp. Can you please open the door?"

There was urgency in his voice. Guiying opened the door and looked into his concerned gaze. Zixin widened his eyes, surprised. "Were you crying? Your eyes look red."

"Ugh no…"

"Don't lie," his eyes then narrowed. "Let me check on you. Are you hurt anywhere?"

She shook her head. She let him inside and gently closed the door behind him. "I just happened to take a nap."

He tipped his head sideways, still not understanding the reason behind her tear-stained eyelashes.
