After leaving the hospital, Lin Zhiyi took a taxi to the Sang Group branch office building.
She checked the time; Sang Li said he had a meeting in the afternoon that would last about two hours.
The timing was perfect, but she waited for about five minutes before sending him a message.
"Meeting over?"
"About to wrap up, what’s up?" Sang Li replied.
"Came to pick up my boyfriend after work."
After sending the message, Lin Zhiyi also took a photo of herself with the building and sent it to Sang Li.
Sang Li replied instantly, "Coming right away."
Seeing the message, Lin Zhiyi smiled faintly and looked up at the beautiful sunset.
Soon after, Sang Li exited the building.
"Why didn’t you come in and wait?" He reached out to feel the warmth of Lin Zhiyi’s hand.
Lin Zhiyi was about to respond when she saw quite a few people walking out of the building; she instinctively pulled her hand back.
This was also the reason she didn’t wait inside; there would definitely be people asking who she was and who she was looking for.
She didn’t know how to answer.
Sang Li noticed her hesitation and took her hand again, nodding and smiling at the other people.
"My girlfriend."
"Mr. Sang, turns out you can be quite the romantic too? Then we won’t disturb you guys."
They said half-jokingly as they waved goodbye.
Lin Zhiyi, feeling a bit embarrassed, tugged at Sang Li’s arm.
"You didn’t have to do that."
"It’s nothing to be ashamed of," Sang Li countered.
Lin Zhiyi paused, feeling immensely grateful in her heart.
Changing the topic, Sang Li asked, "How was the follow-up today?"
"It’s okay, just need to recover slowly," Lin Zhiyi replied lightly, not wanting others to worry about her.
"That’s good, where would you like to go next?"
Lin Zhiyi took out her phone: "I booked movie tickets."
Sang Li glanced at the movie title: "Are you sure about this one?"
"Sci-fi film, it’s said to be particularly suitable for couples online, and I made sure to check the reviews," Lin Zhiyi affirmed.
Sang Li nodded thoughtfully: "A sci-fi film for couples, interesting."
"Let’s go, let’s eat first."
Lin Zhiyi took Sang Li and got into the car.
After dinner, with half an hour left before the movie, they decided to stroll around the shopping mall below the cinema.
Lin Zhiyi purposely bought two cups of new milk tea to drink while watching the movie.
Seeing her serious comparison, Sang Li laughed: "Miss Lin, you... never dated before?"
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, having her thoughts guessed: "Is it that strange?"
"It isn’t?" Sang Li questioned skeptically, "So all those suitors of yours were that useless?"
Everyone is an adult, and having been in relationships before isn’t something to be worried about.
Lin Zhiyi is very beautiful and has an easy-going personality, so she must have had many suitors.
Lin Zhiyi tilted her head: "I don’t have suitors."
Sang Li was somewhat surprised, then suddenly thought of something and chuckled.
Someone sure is ruthless.
Seeing him laugh, Lin Zhiyi asked, "Is it that funny? Actually, during junior and senior high school, I had quite a few people chasing after me, and each Christmas I could receive dozens of apples. I re-gifted them, but when they didn’t take them back, I could sell them for a good amount of money."
"Sell?"
"Other schools celebrated Christmas too, you know. I set up a stall at the entrance of other schools; an apple with a gift box could be sold for double the price," Lin Zhiyi explained seriously.
"..."
Sang Li clenched his fist to his lips, trying to restrain his laughter.
Lin Zhiyi continued: "Once I was in college, it seemed like no guys were chasing after me anymore, probably because everyone had matured, and there were more considerations when it came to love."
"Maybe," Sang Li replied, without saying much, just gazing at Lin Zhiyi with a softer look in his eyes.
