The next day arrived with Hou Lin waiting for Da Shang to arrive outside the subway station. He stared at the crowd pass by him in silence.
"Lin!"
He turned and saw Da Shang eagerly waving her hand at him with a radiant smile on her lips. It was evident that she had taken efforts to dress up for this meeting.
"I hope I didn't make you wait for long," she said with a blush appearing on her cheeks.
"Thirty-three minutes and twenty-four seconds. I don't know if that counts as long or short," he said, not meaning any ill-intent or scorn.
"I-It was hard choosing my dress for today…" she coughed, abashed. "I wanted to look my best. A-anyway!" She cleared her throat.
She gazed at Lin, hoping he would compliment her. But that notion seemed to completely bounce off his head and he asked, "Shall we go?"
"W-wait!"
"Yes?"
"Don't you have anything to say?" She nervously asked.
