"Mmm, I feel much better already." He put the blanket over to her as he turned over and looked outside at the rain. "Has it been raining for long?"
She sat up and looked over in the same direction as well to see the heavy downpour. "It started in the evening. What's the time now?" Xi Xiaye stretched a little as she asked.
He tidied up her messy hair and asked, "It's 8 p.m. now. Are you hungry?"
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath. "Is it already that late? We should head back home quickly."
As he nodded in agreement, Xi Xiaye quickly packed her documents and the two of them swiftly left the office.
