I was somewhat at a loss, "Mr. Zheng, is there something on my face?"
Zheng Yufei kept staring at me intently, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "What's wrong with your ears?"
I was startled and subconsciously touched my ears, only to discover they were burning hot, which was absurd. I swallowed and tried to laugh it off, "Maybe someone is thinking of me. There's a saying back in my hometown that if your ears are hot, it means your family is missing you. I'll give my mom a call tonight."
I didn't expect Zheng Yufei to actually believe such a lame lie, and she even said to me with a pleasant expression, "Since your family is missing you, you should go home to see them once you're less busy in a few days."
I was a bit surprised. What's gotten into Zheng Yufei today? But the thought of not having visited home in a long time made me miss my parents quite a lot.
So, I looked at Zheng Yufei with gratitude, "Then I'll thank Mr. Zheng in advance."
