When it was five o'clock in the evening, Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie prepared to leave home.
Xu Xiangyang stood at the front door, waiting for Lin Xingjie to finish changing her clothes and come out.
From the direction of the bedroom came a light humming sound. Faint and off-key, the melody was quite cheerful, indicating the girl's spirits were quite high.
Actually, Lin Xingjie had been in such an excited state for almost the entire afternoon, and even unexpectedly watched a rented movie with him.
Perhaps she had been cooped up at home for too long these days and thus was really looking forward to going out.
This gave Xu Xiangyang a sigh of relief. At least the first step assigned by the class monitor was successfully completed...
From his personal perspective, setting aside a certain day as a special opportunity to happen with someone— even if it was that person's birthday— would seem very strange.
