Shen Yu rested his head against the steering wheel in silence. After Jiang Li's words, the car fell quiet once more, the tension lingering heavily in the air between them.
After some time, Shen Yu slowly lifted his head and looked at Jiang Li.
The omega was staring down at his white hoodie, fidgeting with the fabric in his hands, avoiding eye contact.
Shen Yu didn't know why, but a strange sense of relief settled in his chest just from seeing Jiang Li sitting beside him.
The past fifteen days had been hell.
He had been constantly thinking—wondering whether the omega was safe, whether something had happened to him, whether he had been hurt.
His eyes widened slightly at the realization.
He had truly been worried.
And if you worry about someone…
That means they matter.
At that thought, Shen Yu closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath, trying to steady himself.
He was overthinking again.
When he opened his eyes, he looked at Jiang Li once more.
