บท 104: Screen

Xiao Juan's hearing was very sharp.

He could hear the movement clearly at the other end of the screen.

He heard the soft scrape of clothes as she sat down. He could still hear the inkstone gently clink against the tabletop. She must be fiddling with it.

Then everything went silent.

Xiao Juan guessed that she was in a daze.

He closed his eyes and told himself to stop paying attention to the people around him. He had to concentrate on what he was doing.

Just as he picked up the dossier and was about to consult it, he heard a knock on the other side of the screen.

Knock, knock.

Xiao Juan stopped what he was doing and looked at the screen beside him again.

He saw a small head poke out from behind the screen.

Yu Niaoniao grabbed the edge of the screen with both hands and looked at the man eagerly.

"What's my job today?"

Xiao Juan asked, "Do you see the box behind you?"
