Their first official meeting was when Xu Yan came from Chongqing to follow up on the project and invited everyone in Feng Li's department to dinner.
He thanked her for her hard work, and Feng Li replied, "It's just my job."
They had barbecue that evening. She didn't have much of an appetite, only feeling parched and constantly reaching for water.
A colleague asked why she wasn't eating.
Feng Li looked at Xu Yan and teased him with a smile: "Because someone here is a feast for the eyes."
The man blushed at her words.
It was hard to tell whether it was the alcohol or genuine shyness.
What caught the eye was the wedding ring on his left ring finger, shimmering in the light as if real and unreal at once.
Feng Li: That wasn't the first time I'd seen Xu Yan, but it seemed to be the first time he'd noticed me.

Coming soon: Mirror, All Things Desire, Winter Snow Season.
Theme: It's all for love, love, love.
It was good to have loved! But the future is always unknown!
When I talk about literature and art, you think it's pretentious. I say love, you say nothingness. I said I wanted to see you, but you said no.
