"Busy? Of course, busy!"
Qi Hao waved his hand, "But no matter how busy, when you guys arrive, he has to come over immediately! You all are..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Snap!"
A crisp flick landed on Qi Hao's head without warning.
"Ouch!" Qi Hao exclaimed, caught off guard, clutching his head in pain.
Fang Qingyu had somehow silently appeared behind him.
With a familiar smile on his face, his gaze went past Qi Hao.
And landed on Lin Kang and the other two sitting on the sofa.
"Captain Lin, Sister Ling."
Fang Qingyu's voice carried the joy of a long-awaited reunion, clear and gentle.
"Why didn't you guys say anything before you came? I could have sent someone to the port to pick you up."
This familiar tone, this smile-filled gaze.
Instantly dispelled the last bit of awkwardness and unfamiliarity Duan Ling and Qu Zhe felt due to the gaps between them.
"Qingzi!"
Duan Ling stood up in surprise.
"Damn, Fang Qingyu, you scared the hell out of me!"
