When dinner time arrived, Chen Xin, who had been busy all afternoon, returned to Qin Lan's room to find her and go to dinner together.
"Ah Lan, what were you up to this afternoon?" However, Qin Lan wasn't in her room, and Chen Xin had to wait for a while before she returned, which naturally made him curious.
"I was clearing some work I've accumulated over the past few days." Upon seeing Chen Xin waiting, Qin Lan felt a bit embarrassed but quickly explained her afternoon work without going into details: "Ah Xin, have I kept you waiting? Let's go eat."
"I haven't waited long, just got back. Let's go grab dinner together." Chen Xin wasn't curious about what Qin Lan did in the afternoon and simply called her to head towards the cafeteria.
With the absence of the political commissar and Uncle Ding at dinner, Chen Xin and Qin Lan felt more at ease and chatted about more casual topics.
