89 Fidgety and jittery

All these seven years, they had a safe distance between them. Not too far and not too close. But the intimacy last night breached that sense of distance and she had no idea how and why? Xinyi didn't know how to face him.

They awkwardly sat at the table while staying silent but someone else was excited. Siying's eyes sparkled. 

Mama and Dada are here!

He curiously observed them. According to their plan and what Leina said, after spending some alone time together, they were supposed to be happy. He expectantly stared at them.

Now Mama and Dada will not fight and leave me right!

But as he observed them more and more, he found it increasingly strange that instead of being happy and smiling, they seemed nervous, even distant. They weren't looking at each other. They weren't talking to each other.

Siying pursed his lips.

Why aren't they lovey-dovey like Uncle Liang and Aunt Ah Cy? I will have to check!
