"Not at all," Xu Jing laughed, "I'm just keen on cracking down on organized crime. Third Young Master Liang, you better watch out."
"Ah, welcome the crackdown. I promise to lie here squeaky clean and ready!"
"You!"
Xu Jing's face flushed as she kicked Liang Qiu from under the table, "Be serious, will you."
"I am being serious!" Liang Qiu sat up straight, "Didn't you praise last night how straight my spine is? And my long legs, straight and strong..."
"Stop!"
Xu Jing hurriedly called for him to stop, unsure where his topic would derail next. This guy, really, he just doesn't know when to hold his tongue.
Liang Qiu obediently shut his mouth, sipping his milk tea, gazing tenderly at Xu Jing.
Gentle light music was wafting through the store. Outside, cars streamed by amidst the bustling crowds.
Living like this for a lifetime wouldn't be so bad.
