His words brought Wanda back to her senses. Only then did she realize that she had been staring at him. She then blushed.
She lowered her head and shook it. But when she thought of his lively look just now, she felt funny.
After a long while, she said, "Nothing on it. I just think..."
Louis raised her eyebrows and asked, "Think what?"
Wanda finally smiled, "Nothing. I just saw that you always look serious in the past. You are praised as a living example in the Research Institute. I didn't know that you are also so naughty sometimes."
Then she looked up at him with her bright eyes.
Louis's heart skipped a beat when she stared at him. A strange feeling appeared, but he quickly calmed down and forgot it. He smiled awkwardly.
"Naughty? This is the first time that someone has used this word to describe me!"
After thinking for a while, he couldn't help laughing and explained, "Bill has watched us grow up, so he is naturally a close senior to us. So we can play jokes with him freely. I feel embarrassed to make you laugh."
His words brought back his gentle and polite look.
At the same time, he also brought back the distant relationship between the two people. Although he was still gentle and modest, he always gave Wanda a special sense of alienation.
Wanda paused and felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, she had been waiting for an opportunity since Louis came in tonight.
An opportunity for the two to get along alone.
She thought as a man, he would take the initiative to mention what happened that night as long as the two got along alone.
After all, no matter who took the initiative to do that, it was impossible to forget such an important matter.
At least, the two of them should reach an agreement in private.
Even if he really said that he was just drunk that night, she could accept the unintentional mistake after drinking.
But now it seemed that the man did not want to mention what happened that night.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling sad.
Maybe that night, she really shouldn't have...
Louis didn't notice something wrong with her expression. He said, "I didn't greet you when I came in. I was just so rude."
Wanda took a deep breath, suppressed the melancholy in the bottom of her heart, and forced a smile. "It's okay. I didn't think there is anything wrong with your behavior before."
She didn't lie. She preferred the way he behaved just now, compared with his polite and distant look now.
But when she thought about it carefully, she guessed that he might not show that expression in front of anyone, so she didn't think too much.
Louis didn't notice her unusual emotion. He just nodded.
The two of them stood there, speechless all of a sudden. The atmosphere became silent and inexplicably embarrassed.
Wanda lowered her head slightly. No one knew what she was thinking about. In the light from the top of her head, her fair face was shining with a soft radiance. Although she was not exceedingly beautiful, she had a kind of attractive pureness.
Louis glanced at her and then quickly looked away.
He was eight years older than this little girl, enough to be her uncle, so he would never have any feelings for her.
But why was his heart beating so fast?
He took a deep breath secretly, feeling that it was not appropriate for the two of them to stand still like this, so he suggested, "It's very cold here. How about we go ahead? It's warmer over there."
Originally, it was just a polite invitation, but when Wanda heard it, it was something else. She looked up at him quickly, pursed her lips and nodded. "Okay."
