Bei Lingfeng gave Hua Yunliang a final look of frustration, as if to say, 'I can't believe you're still not getting it.' Yunliang still had that 'even if the sky falls, keeping my handsome face is what matters' demeanor, likely still riding the high from his recent media exposure. (Shrug, a helpless expression on his face...)
If he had known things would turn out this way, Bei Lingfeng would have never given Yunliang that limited-edition, strong-flavored cigarette. Seeing him now, so utterly bewitched in a world of smoke, Lingfeng felt like gouging out his own eyes!
In the end, he could only shake his head, too lazy to say anything more, and walked toward the office's grand automatic doors.
But just as he was opening the door, he saw Sister Lin approaching. Neither seemed prepared for this encounter, and they both blurted out in unison, "You…"
The atmosphere plunged into an awkward space filled with a strange kind of sweetness.
