"What's wrong? Doesn't any of this suit your taste?" Qi Longbing asked, cutting his steak with a knife and fork, eating slowly while observing her expression.
Hua Xiaomo shook her head without a word.
"You don't seem to be yourself today. What, was teaching really that exhausting?" Qi Longbing remarked nonchalantly.
