Chapter 174 - 172: Descending from the Sky
No matter how well things were planned at the beginning, emotions always unwittingly changed our minds.
He Fang always found herself reflecting silently during the still of the night after repeatedly crossing the line only to cast those reflections aside the next time they met.
It was like sweet candy tempting one to take another taste, another bite, as long as they didn’t reach the final step, it was fine.
Frustrated, she pinched Qin Guanglin hard before she hooked her arm through his and walked out the door, secretly contemplating whether to keep some distance... Otherwise, their shamelessness would progress far too quickly.
"By the way, there’s an outing to Chou Mountain with the company, and spouses can come along. It’s next week or the week after, Friday and Saturday, do you want to join me?"
Standing under the bus stop waiting for a bus, Qin Guanglin briefly reiterated the outing plans.
"Why would I attend your company event?" He Fang expressed her disinterest, "You go on. Just don’t let that colleague of yours whisk you away."
Qin Guanglin wasn’t surprised at all; He Fang was even more of a homebody than he was before. She would be wearing the same pajamas from the morning when he returned from work in the evening, never stepping out all day long.
"I didn’t go the last time, and I don’t want to go this time either. I initially refused by saying I needed to accompany my girlfriend, but my boss specifically mentioned that spouses could come, hoping we could go together." He shook He Fang’s hand, "I don’t feel like going if you don’t. In such hot weather, what’s better than staying indoors with you, enjoying the air conditioning and watching a movie?"
"Hmm..." He Fang thought for a moment, "Fine, I’ll go with you. What if you get sick of being cooped up all day at home? It’s good to go out."
"You’re the one who might get sick of it, right?" Qin Guanglin looked at her, somewhat speechless, "I’m out every day while you’re stuck at home."
