After Xu Yibai left, Mu Lin took care of Xiang Manni, who had been infatuated with Xu Yibai, by sending her home.
Then, in broad daylight, Xiang Manni once again repeated her daily task, carrying the materials that Mu Lin asked her to bring home, walking home confidently amidst the jealous eyes of her co-workers.
She was now accustomed to such gazes, and remained unswayed by them.
Her transparent fingertips danced on the mobile keyboard. Even though she saw him only once, for Mu Lin, who never forgets anything she saw, Jing Chen's number was imprinted firmly in her mind, whether she wanted it or not.
"Hello," a deep voice sounded on the other side of the phone, seemingly losing a bit of its coldness.
Mu Lin thought she might not be mistaken, Jing Chen no longer seemed as cold as he used to be during their past encounters.
"It's Mu Lin," she announced.
"I know," three simple words which left Mu Lin feeling strangely as though he had been waiting for her call all along.
