Zhang Ye found a spot on the staircase in front of a bank. He did not carry a look that suited a teacher as he sat down heavily on the steps.

Water Lotus Moon replied quickly, "Yes, that's why I was not in a rush to get home."
Zhang Ye tested her by typing: "Do you stay nearby?"
Water Lotus Moon: "Not around here. It's rather far. Have you finished running?"
