Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue stood facing each other, both slightly taken aback.
Regardless of how composed a person may be, it's impossible to maintain such calm amid the calculating actions and reactions around the one they fancy. Anyone who could manage that would surely be a god, not a human.
In the silence of the room, Feng Qingxue took the initiative, clearing her throat as she began, "Comrade Lu Jiang..."
Simultaneously, Lu Jiang also spoke, "Comrade Qingxue..."
The words tumbled out of their mouths at once, only to be cut short, as they both chorused, "You go first!"
Amused by their in-sync interaction, Lu Jiang couldn't help but chuckle, and Feng Qingxue was equally cheerfully amused, her smile sweet and captivating.
"Please sit here," Lu Jiang was the first to find his words again. As Feng Qingxue took her seat, he quickly brought over the array of treats that Miao Fengqin had prepared for them back at Wang Zhenguo's house.
