Chapter 60: Don’t Want to Show Weakness
Lin Yihang finished his meal and left, saying that the witness he was going to visit had arrived at home. On his way out, he asked Ye Yan for an umbrella.
After Lin Yihang left, Ye Yan tidied up the kitchen and then sat down at the computer to look up information and organize data until eleven o’clock. She had finished all the spreadsheets, one version in Chinese and one in English, and sent them to Director Bi’s email.
Fearing that Director Bi might have already gone to sleep, she refrained from sending a message to avoid disturbing him.
Just as she was about to turn off her phone, her gaze suddenly fell upon a certain profile picture. Almost as if possessed, she composed a two-word message: "Good night."
Thinking it over, she deemed it too stiff and searched for a GIF of a teddy bear turning off the light. After triple-checking to ensure there was nothing inappropriate, she finally sent it.
After waiting for a while without a response from Fu Xingzhou, Ye Yan didn’t think too much of it. She plugged in her phone to charge, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
The next morning, the first message on her phone was from Fu Xingzhou, sent at 3:40 a.m., with a simple "Good night."
He hadn’t slept by 3:40 a.m.?
He was usually the playboy type who would read messages without responding, but this time he surprisingly replied to her rather trivial message.
Ye Yan stared at those two words for a while. They didn’t seem special, but they had a kind of unique charm to them. It was almost as if she could glimpse his casual demeanor when he sent the message through these words.
