"Alright, you're busy."
After saying goodbye to Wang Hongwei, Gu Ji turned and walked out of the crowd with Ding Lan. "Sorry for delaying dinner, are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
Although Ding Lan shook her head with a smile, her eyes seemed a bit downcast.
That night, the two found a nearby hot pot restaurant.
After sitting down, Gu Ji scanned the QR code and handed the phone over, letting Ding Lan choose what she liked to eat first.
Ding Lan glanced casually and suddenly asked, "Can you drink tonight?"
"Sorry, I really can't. I'm on stand-by this week, so I need to be on call 24/7 and can't drink alcohol."
Seeing Gu Ji's firm tone, Ding Lan could only say, "Alright," and then ordered a cocktail for herself.
Once the dishes were served, Gu Ji sincerely thanked Ding Lan for lending him the foreign language book.
"With our relationship, what's there to thank for? So, was it helpful to you?"
"Not much, maybe I've underestimated the complexity of learning a language."
