Unlike that exceptional figure she'd encountered last time, this young man was just a regular guy, a common person who had been working at the transportation bureau ever since he graduated from college. He came from a simple family and had a straightforward personality.
He brought Xu Chaomu a gift, a box of paper cranes he had folded himself.
Xu Chaomu was quite touched and talked with him for a long time.
After finishing their meal and tea, the man escorted Xu Chaomu home. He was very enthusiastic all the way.
Xu Chaomu wasn't foolish; she could tell who was sincere and who was perfunctory at a glance. She found that this man was truly interested in pursuing her.
The man escorted her all the way to West Garden, by which time it had become a perfect moonlit moment.
During the walk, the man shared with Xu Chaomu many amusing incidents from his college days and intriguing places he had visited while traveling.
