Huai Shi looked down at his phone, scrolling through the information on the screen. "I only took two days off, and I'm already overdue. I absolutely need to go back and ask Ai Qing for a few more days, right?"
Liu DongLi didn't speak.
"Speaking of which, why haven't I been able to contact Ai Qing?" Huai Shi looked up, staring at Liu DongLi's face. "Do you have any idea?"
"...I've only been here for two days, how would I know? Maybe she's in some kind of closed-door training; that sort of thing happens often." Liu DongLi chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll help you ask for leave later. The plane takes off in an hour, so how about we head out first?"
"No, I'm not going."
Huai Shi said calmly, "You're hiding something from me."
"…"
"It's about Ai Qing, isn't it?" Huai Shi asked.
"…"
Liu DongLi pretended not to hear. He turned his head to admire the young women in the bar, whistling casually as if nothing was wrong.
"Then I'll just go ask Old Xiao directly."
