After Xiulan dashed to her office in a rush because it was late for work, Jianyu was left behind in her apartment, he continued doing his research. Although his eyes were on the screen, his mind was with Xiulan. He wondered where she was on the road, if she was stuck in the traffic jam or if she was already in the office lecturing her subordinate. His desire to see her working in formal attire and the earnest look on her face grew as he imagined. Time ticking, no work was done, just scrolling up and down the website, he berated himself as hopeless. After food delivery, he had lunch with Xiulan virtually.
"You have not told me why you laughed." There was nothing funny about kissing your lover and she felt uneasy. He seemed experienced in that kind of field while she was a complete beginner.
"Because you are cute." He beamed.
She did not beam and stared the answer out of him.
