I have to find a way to get him out this fancy he has for me and for that I need a valid reason, Hong Liu thought as she put the fish to steam. she thought long and hard about it, this is the passing fancy he is infatuated because she saved him, once he realizes that she not interested him. He would stop pursuing this. At least that what she told herself because she has to be strong by any means she won't be his misfortune or reason of his heartbreak. I can't afford to slip again as I did before, she nodded to herself with determination.
She set up the table for him and he looked at her as she does, as a strand of her hair falls down from hairs that were braided to the side, he remembers the day at the eatery. She looks the same way but a little more tired.
"Did you went to work today?" He asked as she set up a plate for him
She nodded as she stands by the tableside far away from him. Xian Zhen looks up at her neutral and distant posture.
