Hours passed and it was already time for their time out.
As they sat across each other in the cozy booth of Golden Dragon, Zhong Li and Shu Xian were both nervous about the dinner they were having.
Zhong Li couldn't believe that he was finally having dinner with the girl he had a crush on for months, while Shu Xian was anxious about how she would handle the situation, being in a committed relationship with Professor Pan An.
Zhong Li fidgeted with his chopsticks, unsure of how to start the conversation. Shu Xian noticed his nervousness and tried to ease the tension by asking him about his studies.
They talked about their work at the library, and Zhong Li shared his experiences in helping students with their research papers. Shu Xian listened intently, nodding and smiling at appropriate times, trying to appear relaxed and friendly.
