Lisa seldom left work on time, but tonight he had the rare opportunity to leave early. He didn't know why, but he couldn't wait to see Jennie, so he drove to her radio station and listened to her broadcast.

As Jennie said her closing remarks, Lisa's eyes kept straying towards the building doors. Finally, he saw Jennie walking out with a scarf around her neck.

"Jennie!" Lisa got out of his car and waved at Jennie with a smile.

At first, Jennie looked around cautiously, but when she realized that it was Jennie, she ran towards him.

"How come you're here?" Jennie asked.

"I just felt that I haven't picked you up in a while." Lisa adjusted Jennie's scarf that had become undone due to her haste.

"I drive myself to work every night, why do I need you to pick me up?" Jennie laughed.

"But I want to!" Perhaps it was because of the dim lighting, but Jennie felt that Lisa's eyes looked very gentle tonight.

Jennie didn't know if it was the way Lisa looked at her, or if this atmosphere was lacking ambiguity, but she became somewhat uncomfortable. She lowered her head, scuffing the ground with her shoes.

A woman's feelings were strange. When they don't like someone they can boldly flirt with the person, but with someone they like, they would get nervous and shy.

Jennie had started to care about Lisa, so she began to overthink things.

She began to like Lisa more and more, if one day this relationship doesn't meet her expectations, she would be devastated. Jennie had long been worried about this.

But she never thought about this idea for very long, as she felt uneasy at the mere thought of it.

So like in her previous life, she would exhaust all her strength so that she wouldn't have the energy to think such depressing thoughts.

Jennie truly didn't want to be pessimistic, she didn't want to lose Lisa, didn't want to treat him as an objective. She just wanted to be happy with him.

"What are you thinking of?" Lisa lightly knocked on Jennie's head.

"Ah..." Jennie raised her head, and her round eyes were bright. "I'm not thinking of anything."

"Then what are you doing with your head down?" Lisa obviously didn't believe such an obvious lie.

"I was laughing."

Lisa looked at her, puzzled.

Jennie smiled and said: "You came to pick me up so I'm happy. But I don't want you to know and find out that I'm so easily flattered."

"You..." Lisa couldn't help but laugh. He took Jennie's hands and asked, "Are you feeling cold?"

Jennie shook her head.

"Let's go take a walk!" Lisa said.

Jennie was a little surprised at this but she didn't refuse; Lisa must have something he wanted to say.

The streets were quiet, they were particularly empty at this early hour. Occasionally, a taxi would pass by them, deliberately slowing down to see if they needed a cab.

Lisa, holding Jennie's hand, walked along the straight road aimlessly.

"I haven't gone out walking like this for a long time." Lisa suddenly said. "It's so quiet!"

"Do you like the silence?" Jennie asked.

"It feels calm!" Lisa thought that he could somewhat enjoy this kind of tranquility.
