Country T's tradition
After dinner, James left with Evan and Gong Li without a word. Talking to her at the moment was senseless, he had to clear a few things with Evan first.
Before leaving Wang Shi touched Suyin's head, "Some things are not worthy of you. Don't keep yourself awake all night thinking about it, okay? I'm just a floor away; call me if you need anything."
As he was about to leave, she tugged his hand once more, tip-toed and softly pecked his cheek, shocking him and herself both.
"In country T's tradition, gratitude is expressed by giving something in return. Thank you and Good Night."
Without waiting for a reply, she shut the door at his face.

"Suyin, you're so shameless,"
