"Meng Xiao." Zhao Guoying suddenly called her.

"...Huh?" Meng Xiao responded.

"What was your answer to what I just said?" Zhao Guoying asked.

"..." What had he just said? Or had she simply not been paying attention?

She hadn't heard him, Zhao Guoying was certain. For the first time ever, someone had been so distracted as to not know what he was saying, and yet, he wasn't annoyed with her. He patiently repeated it.

"I was saying, I still have some vacation days left. I can take you out tomorrow for a few days." The question was quite direct, basically asking "Will you spend the night with me tomorrow?" in a way subtly similar to his previous statement "I'll be your man".

Before Meng Xiao had a chance to respond, Zhao Guoying took a sip of beer, continuing, "My job is kind of unique, right now I have the time to take you out. But when work gets busy, you can't get mad. You'll have to bring me food when I have free time."
