Distance between them

"It's been a while since the two of you met. You must have a lot to talk about. As much as I want to give you two some space, my old bone doesn't allow me to move around. How about you take a stroll outside while talking?"

That was Dai Bolin's subtle way of sending them off together with a big grin on his face. He gave a thumbs up to Li Caiyi discreetly to encourage her, but she could only smile stiffly at his 'consideration'.

She sneakily glanced beside her, but Dai Zhiqiang didn't look any different than usual. Both of them didn't talk but naturally walked in the direction of the hospital's yard, where they usually spent time together.

"How about we sit down first?" Dai Zhiqiang broke the silence first. He brushed off the dust on the bench before gesturing for her to sit.

"Thank you," she responded in a small voice before plopping down beside him.
