Let's not talk about anyone else—Lai Xixi herself hadn't seen Yong Yan for two months. Communication these days wasn't as advanced as it would be in the future, so stuff like video calls wasn't exactly easy. That meant when the two of them finally met again after two months, Lai Xixi was practically in mourning—she knew she'd gotten tanned, but didn't realize just how dark she'd become. And her first thought was almost identical to Mei Mengzhen's: Yong Yan probably went to get some beauty treatments.
But that wasn't the case.
Yong Yan really had just spent two months sitting in the office. But you know, his job was crazy busy: up early every day, overtime, nonstop for two months straight. With no sun exposure, of course he got paler.
Yong Yan felt a bit embarrassed as he comforted, "It's okay, you can get lighter again."
