Otis actually had no intention of really leaving. He said, "Honestly, the moment I saw you, I already wanted to step out for a smoke."
Mei tilted her head. "Since when do you smoke?"
Otis shook his head. "Just a mood thing."
Mei understood what he meant, but when she pictured it, Otis standing by the window, quietly lighting a Marlboro with that endlessly gloomy look on his face, it was strangely amusing. She couldn't help but laugh out loud. He actually looked… kind of handsome like that. Of course, Mei only liked the aesthetic of 2D characters smoking; real people blowing smoke near her? Absolutely not.
Otis glanced at her and immediately knew she was thinking of something weird again.
"So what now? Are we still pretending we don't know each other? Honestly, your acting is terrible."
Mei glared at him. "Like you're any better. And you even have the nerve to criticize me, your acting is awful…"
