At those words, Ji Xie and Li Xian both froze.
The mood they had finally managed to salvage was shattered all over again by that one sentence.
In truth, Li Xian regretted it the moment the words left his mouth.
If the answer was "no"-then he had only been flattering himself.
But what if the answer was "yes"?
Did he actually want to say yes?
Li Xian had backed them into a dilemma, and with no way to smooth things over coming to mind, he could only scramble to get off Ji Xie.
Naturally, Ji Xie refused to let him have his way and reached out to grab Li Xian's arm. As the two remained caught in an awkward stalemate, a voice came from outside the door:
"Bro, President Lin said..."
Song Qingzhang had meant to knock, but the door to Li Xian's room, which was always firmly shut, had somehow been left unlatched today. The door slowly swung open before his eyes-
"When you have time, come to the lounge to see..."
Song Qingzhang stopped halfway through his sentence, his tongue suddenly tied by the sight before him.
The half-open door was swiftly shut, leaving Li Xian and Ji Xie, still "tangled up" with each other, staring at one another.
"..."

Li Xian silently covered his face.
He must have been in too much of a hurry when he returned and failed to shut the door properly.
"I'm heading out."
Li Xian hurriedly tossed out those words, then rolled off the bed. This time, Ji Xie did not stop him, merely watching his retreating back thoughtfully as he rushed out of the room.
He had been momentarily speechless because he genuinely had never considered that question.
Ji Xie had always done whatever he pleased, without considering his motives
