The couple's relationship flourished after returning from their trip to T City.
After they decided to date, Yin Yi Bo would often come to Ding Liu's place and have dinner together. However, after they returned from T City, Ding Liu noticed that Yin Yi Bo would hang around her place longer.
He would bring his laptop and do his work in the living room while she lazed around to watch television after the meal. Yin Yi Bo would focus on his work and did not seem to notice the time.
In the beginning, Ding Liu thought that her boyfriend might be busy after meeting a lot of people during that award ceremony. Perhaps, he was enlightened and was inspired to write. Perhaps he had a deadline to chase.
Ding Liu did not want to disturb her boyfriend while he was working. She would stay around to keep him company until her eyes could no longer take it. She had to remind Yin Yi Bo about the time before he would pack up his belongings and leave her apartment.
