Natalia was extremely uncomfortable with the stuffiness, so she said to Hua Jin, "I'll wait for you just outside, okay?"
"Just outside…" The actor looked at the shop entrance hesitantly and felt uneasy.
Natalia said, "Don't worry. I won't wander off. Besides, you said it won't take long."
The actor contemplated for a moment, then nodded. "You promise me you won't wander off. Huh?" If she were to wander off and get lost, he would lose his head to Gong Jie.
Thus Natalia walked out. The actor watched her as she went to sit on the bench outside the shop and then continued to wait in the queue.
Natalia waited outside the shop, feeling bored. The wait was particularly long and equally boring. She thought she had been waiting for more than ten minutes and walked to the digital clock in the hall to check. She realized it had really only been five minutes.
Ding dong.
