Chapter 55 Ways to Care
***

Tonight’s experiments went well. The initial estimates were accurately reached, and the next stage had a very long wait time, so Xia Feng ended up leaving the lab early. This was quite rare.

Although there was still a slight chill in the spring night, the faint fragrance of flowers in the air lifted the mood. Xia Feng looked down at his watch and saw that he had just enough time to pick up his wife from work.

It was quite early in the morning, so the streets were empty and the shops on either side of the road were closed. Xia Feng happened upon a 24-hour convenience store on and went in to buy two hot drinks.

When Yu Dong stepped out of the radio station gate, her high-heels clacking, she saw Xia Feng standing on the steps. He was smiling, wearing a long black trenchcoat and holding two cups.

Yu Dong’s eyes brightened, and she ran over, saying: “How come you didn’t tell me you were coming?”

“Don’t run so fast while you’re wearing heels!” Xia Feng warned as he passed a warm cup to Yu Dong.

Yu Dong accepted the drink and pushed the blame back to him: “It’s all because you suddenly appeared without telling me.”

“Alright, I’m at fault!” Xia Feng helplessly shook his head, willingly taking all the blame.

Yu Dong was satisfied as she took a sip of the drink. She realized it was a cup of sweet orange juice. “Where did you find orange juice in this late hour?”

(T/N: Hot….orange juice??? but well, that’s what it said.)

“I happened to pass by a random store.” Xia Feng saw Yu Dong happily drinking, so he also took a sip from his own cup. It really was good.

“Let’s head home after we finish the drinks.” Yu Dong proposed.

Xia Feng naturally had no objections to this, so the two slowly walked along the road, green leaves swaying. Compared to the bleak and bare winter trees, this scene was a beautiful contrast.

“We always seem to…meet late at night.” Yu Dong suddenly sighed and feeling a bit awkward, she said: “What does that sentence sound like we’re having an affair?”

Xia Feng was amused by Yu Dong’s words but felt that what she said was true. Every day he would wake up and go to work while Yu Dong was asleep, then when he returned home, Yu Dong would have already left for the radio station. Meeting like this in the middle of the early morning would rarely happen, and even then, it would need prior scheduling.

“I really like this time of day.” Xia Feng said, “The whole city is sleeping soundly, so the place seems empty. Like we’re the only two people in the world.”

“You…” Yu Dong was stunned and felt like she had been caught off-guard. “Why are you suddenly a master of sweet talk? Who did you learn this from?”

“What I said can’t be deliberately learned and can only come from the heart.” Xia Feng chuckled as he started to pet Yu Dong.

Yu Dong was flustered. She felt like an innocent maiden, her IQ falling to match a 16-year-old fanciful fool. Agitated, Yu Dong could only shout back: “You…don’t spout such corny things, I can’t stand it.”
