Qin Shuang had arranged to meet with Xu Ji the next afternoon.
Following the address on the business card Xu Ji had given her, she found Xu Ji's psychological studio.
The studio was not far from Xu Ji's residence, situated at the end of a very quiet alley. From the outside, it looked like a retro-designed, unique cafe.
Qin Shuang, somewhat curious, pushed open the door to the cafe.
The enthusiastic receptionist asked, "Do you have a reservation?"
Before Qin Shuang could answer, Xu Ji appeared at the top of the second floor stairs, saying, "She's my friend, there's no need to arrange a time."
Then, gesturing to Qin Shuang, he said, "Come on up."
Qin Shuang smiled at the receptionist and then ascended the stairs, following Xu Ji to the sunlit Flower Room at the end of the second floor.
Qin Shuang was a bit curious, "This place doesn't look at all like a psychological clinic."
