He stopped walking and looked at the time. Then, with a smile on his face, he caressed Shen Li's hair and said, "It really was a shortcut so we're not too late."

Lu Huaiyu's gaze met her eyes as he paused to think for a moment. Seeming to understand something, he slid the palm of his hand down and cupped the side of her face. Pressing his thumb lightly against her lips, he said with a low laugh, "I paid attention just now. No one should have noticed it."
Shen Li replied, "... I don't--"

A deep and laughing voice was heard.
Lu Huaiyu paused and looked up.
