Gu Qian withdrew her gaze and headed for the sidewalk, "I've been out too long; Sister Luoxi will worry if I don't get back soon. I'll take it."
Shen Changqing avoided her hand, looking at her tenderly, and spoke gently, "As a man, I'm here to help my girlfriend with tasks. You take care of yourself, and don't get lost."
If it were before, she would've bloomed with joy at his teasing; but now, she smiled more painfully than if she were crying, lowering her head and walking silently forward.
Shen Changqing walked beside her, occasionally glancing at her. It was clear she was distracted, and he racked his brain for any pitiful jokes he might know.
But he was always so serious and lacking a sense of humor; he didn't know how to cheer her up, "Qianqian, let me tell you a joke."
Gu Qian responded absently, "You know how to tell jokes?"
