He wanted to kiss her, to take her back to his home, to visit his mother's grave with her.
But he knew he couldn't.

Lin Gantang took out a pair of cufflinks. "I liked the hamster you gave me last time, so I got you a gift too."

"I like it," he said.
Lin Gantang chuckled and playfully tapped him. "You haven't even seen it yet!"
Wen Yanqing joined in the laughter.
