Tristan was already out of breath when they reached their car. Zhen-Zhen, on the other hand, was just breathing normally. She didn't look tired even if they ran under the scorching heat of the sun.
Zhen-Zhen moved closer to Tristan, rubbing his back. "Are you okay, Tristan?"
Tristan just nodded his head while he was still panting and catching his breath. After a few seconds, he was able to say a word. "I'm fine… I'm just thirsty."
"Alright, wait here. I will just get you something to drink."
But before she could leave, Tristan stopped her by holding her elbow. "It's fine. Let's go. I'm planning to bring you to a famous restaurant here in the City of Empire. I will treat you to a good meal. We will celebrate since you finished taking your exam today!"
"That's so nice of you, Tristan."
"Anything for you, Zhen-Zhen." Tristan touched the tip of her nose before guiding her to the car.
