The sports event eliminated all club activities for the day.
With two minutes left before school let out, Jiutiao Meijie, killing time in the classroom, received a call from her mother.
"Sweetie, come keep me company tonight," Jiutiao's mother's voice was bright and cheerful.
"I'm not going."
"You don't have work today, why not spend time with Mom?" After a slight pause, Jiutiao's mother's voice took on a more meaningful tone, "Is Mr. Dubian coming over to your place?"
Jiutiao Meijie looked at Dubian Che with an inquiring gaze.
It was a question asked with knowing the answer.
Telling Dubian Che 'I'm free tonight' during the day was her way of inviting him over.
This wasn't something one could call out directly, faced with Jiutiao Meijie's look, Dubian Che nodded, indicating he wanted to go.
He indeed wanted to.
Embrace Meijie three times every day — this was a heartfelt declaration.
