Since she'd said as much, Lin Chen didn't press the issue. The two of them just sat quietly on the sofa, holding each other for a moment, before being interrupted by the sudden ring of a phone.
"Hello, this is Lin Chen... What? You're already here? Where are you??"
"No, I mean, why didn't you tell me before you came? Alright, I'll come find you now. Stay put."
As soon as he hung up, Jin Meiyan looked puzzled. "Who's here?"
"Connor. I don't know if you've heard of him."
"Oh, right, I think I've seen his name in the comment section. He's the guy you mentioned who tamed a coyote in Alaska, right?"
"Yeah. He just suddenly said he's in town. I'm going to go find him."
Watching Lin Chen walk out the door, leaving her all alone in the room, Jin Meiyan suddenly felt a pang of regret.
'It was a rare chance for us to be alone. Why did I have to be so reserved just now?'
