Duan Lan pulled back the curtain of the carriage and upon seeing her, smiled, "Have you finished your work?"
Ji Xinhe seemed startled: "Why are you waiting outside? If you have business with me, you could come inside."
Duan Lan jumped off the carriage and pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth: "I didn't have anything special to do that I needed to find you, so I didn't want to bother you. You are already busy with the workshop. It's better to wait until you are free."
He was content waiting on the outside.
Ji Xinhe laughed: "Brother Duan, you seem strange today. If there's nothing on pressing matter, why did you come to me in particular?"
Duan Lan responded: "Is it so odd for me to come see you without anything special to do?"
For the first time, he summoned the courage to utter these words and his heart throbbed even more with complex emotions.
