Director Liu shook his slightly dizzy head and rubbed his tired eyes. Eventually, he chuckled and said, "Now that you mention it, I do feel somewhat fatigued. I won't stand on ceremony with you any longer. Driving while tired isn't safe. It'll be a hassle, but you should head back by yourself. We'll keep in touch if anything comes up."
Director Liu was nearing fifty, and staying up the entire day and night was indeed taxing for him.
Cherishing the old as one would their own elderly, Qin Sisi was considerate of Director Liu's hard work. She politely bid him farewell, carried Ye You out of Ke University of Science and Technology, and hailed a taxi at the school gate to return to her residential complex.
By the time she returned home, it was noon.
Warm sunlight bathed the balcony, where the few pots of Chlorophytum comosum that Qin Sisi had planted basked in the sun. Their long leaves hung down elegantly, delicate and graceful.
