"So your neighbors won't recognize you," Xu said, slipping on a pair of sunglasses from her backpack and turning to J.

Jonas exclaimed, "You're so smart, you wait outside while I drive, don't linger here."

Lena Xu nodded. "

Jonas looked left and right to make sure there were no neighbors before driving away.

It took a long time for Lena Xu to get out of the car at a brisk pace, and as soon as she got in, Jonas started the car eagerly.

"Jonas, that's how I get out of here, from now on." Lena Xu said to Jonas.

"I'm sorry," Jonas soothed, "but keep pretending."

"What are we having tonight?" Lena Xu asked softly.

"Tonight, we will meet again," Jonas marveled.

Lena Xu sneered, "You forgot about me when you did it, aren't you heartless?"

Jonas said immediately, "I'll take a break before Cayce sees anything."

Lena Xu was unmoved, "I want ice cream tonight, want to join us?"

Jonas looked morose, "Depends on whether Cayce is okay."

"If you don't come with me, I'll get Cayce and the three of us," Lena Xu said sourly.

Jonas said helplessly, "How about we meet in private?"

Arriving at Lena Xu's office, before she could get out of the car, she said to Jonas, "Here, let me give you a kiss."

Jonas was taken aback, "This is not good, what if your colleague sees you?"

"Should I talk to Cayce?" said Lena Xu.

Jonas quickly gave Lena Xu a big hug, "No, I'm under a lot of stress right now.

Hsu smiled, "That's good for me."

Jonas hesitated, afraid to enter the office, but took his seat.

Before Jonas could take his seat, someone tapped him on the shoulder, "J, what are you doing?"

Jonas looked up and saw Cayce with a surprised look on her face. Jonas was too guilty to look directly at Cayce, but stared at his crescent moon.

"Early!." Jonas said to her.

"Why are you so late?" asked Cayce, unamused.

Jonas hesitated, "Really?"

Cayce looked puzzled, "When I spoke to you last night, you didn't answer me, so what the hell are you doing tonight?"

Jonas looked morose, "I play mahjong with a bunch of gamblers all night, and I don't even have time to swipe Weibo."

"Stop playing mahjong, you're crazy now!" exhorted Cayce worriedly.

'Got it. ' Jonas answered immediately.

"What can I get you?" Cayce asked.

Jonas replied faintly, "That's white rice."

Cayce looked confused, "Something is wrong with you, you don't sound quite right."

Jonas looked apologetic, "Probably didn't sleep well."

Cayce looked at Jonas with a concerned look on his face and said, "I'll have chicken soup for lunch.

Cayce Si-si touched Jonas's head. Immediately, Jonas felt Cayce Si-si is very good to himself. Jonas is very guilty.

Jonas looked at Cayce:"Cayce, I'm really touched.

Cayce smiled thinly and said, "It's a given that we're lovers."

"thank you." Jonas said gratefully.

Cayce smiled and said, "You're welcome, go about your business."

"No problem." Jonas quickly agreed.

After about half an hour, Jonas's phone rang and Jonas rushed to the bathroom to answer it.

"Jonas." Lena Xu got through.

Jonas looked worried, "Why are you on the phone at work in case she hears you?"

Hsu looked at Jonas and asked, "I miss you.

"Miss you." Jonas whispered.

After a few words with Lena Xu, Jonas hung up the phone, thinking it would be too bad if he was overheard.

Cayce asked Jonas about the day's events over lunch. Jonas thought for a moment and said to Cayce, "I'm not well and I need to rest."

"Do you want me to accompany you after all this trouble?" asked Cayce worriedly.

Jonas said hurriedly, "No, you go with my friend and I'll take care of myself."

"Very well then." Cayce was worried.

After the meal, Jonas quietly messaged Lena Xu in his own Weibo: "I can go for ice cream with you tonight."

"Fine, I'll see you tonight," Xu replied a second later.

Jonas hurried to Lena Xu's house as soon as he got off work.

As he walked, his phone rang and it was Xuleana.

"J, what about you?" Lena Xu asked Jonas.

J: "Twenty minutes."

"I think you'd better not come, Cayce is here," Lena Xu said quickly.

Jonas looked horrified, "No, I have to go.

"Don't go back," Lena Xu soothed, "just wait here and come to me when I get her out of here."

J: "Then when?"

"You're so calm, you can kill someone in a minute," Lena Xu said without a trace of anger, "I'll go see her first, I'll see you later, that's it."

Jonas hung up the phone, wondering if this was going to get any worse.

Jonas and Lena Xu waited several blocks away, and after more than twenty minutes, Lena Xu's voice came, "Husband, what are you doing?"

Jonas sighed, "Is Cayce here yet?"

Lena Xu: "I can use my voice."

Jonas asked again, "What are you going to do?"

"Go get something, or eat something," Lena Xu replied casually.

"It's no fun waiting here," Jonas said sourly.

Lena Xu looked grim, "If you dare, I'll tell your girlfriend!"

Jonas smiled, "When you put it that way, it seems unlikely to me."

Lena Xu smiled, "I'll go first."

The pair then exchanged a few more words. Jonas was so excited that her will meet with Jonas.

Jonas rested in the car for more than two hours until he finally heard from her.

Lena Xu looked to Jonas, "Jonas, Cayce is back, you come with me."
