Hanjun took the cloth and pressed it against his cut. He stood up and strode out of the office. Wu Yiheng was left behind, staring at the shattered pieces that remained.

Li Ying was making tours of the office with the two interns. Li Ying admired the floor-to-ceiling views of the financial district from every window and appreciated the spacious layout. The workers had access to a gym, and there was a spa on the property. It looked like a cushy place to work. Yiyi was doing his best as a tour guide.
“The history of the company goes back to the, uh…” Yiyi looked at Xinyu.
“18th century,” Xinyu said.
“Yes, the 18th century! Wu Pharma used to make traditional Chinese medicine, but now it’s only a small part of what we do. There was probably more about the company history, but I don’t remember. Anyway, there’s free snacks and a coffee maker, if you want.”
“You know just what to say to make a girl’s day.” Li Ying smiled and winked, causing Yiyi to blush. “Thank you for showing mearound. Could you take me to Hanjun’s office? I need to see him before I go.”
“Sure!” Yiyi led the way. “By the way, you can call me when you’re ready to leave, and I’ll take you anywhere you want.” Yiyi wrote down his personal number to give to Li Ying.
“Aw, a cute boy gave me his number!” Li Ying said. “Thanks, A-Yi!”
Yiyi’s cheeks kept growing redder. Xinyu was hardly holding back his laughter while watching his friend get mercilessly teased.
The interns took Li Ying outside a large office with a placard stating ‘Wu Hanjun—senior business manager’ by the door. Li Ying rang the buzzer.
“See you, A-Yi, A-Yu!” Li Ying said while waiting to be called in.
“See you, Miss Li!” The boys left to get lunch together. While they were getting into the elevator, Yiyi asked Xinyu in a hushed voice:
“Miss Li is pretty hot, right?”
Xinyu blushed. “She’s pretty.”
“Come on, she’ssuper sexy!Wu Hanjun is so lucky.”
“She’s nice, too.”
“Yeah! I hope Wu Hanjun marries her.”
“But thenyoucan’t marry her.” Xinyu grinned.
“As if I could…” Then Yiyi’s eyes widened, and he looked at Xinyu. “Could I really marry an older woman?”
“I was joking.”
“What? Are you saying I’m not good enough for her? I’ve been told I’m super handsome!”
“It doesn’t count if it’s said by your mother.” Xinyu deflected Yiyi’s playful punch.
Meanwhile, Li Ying entered Hanjun’s office.
“Hello, Hanjun! How’s your day—What happened to your hand?” Li Ying saw Hanjun pressing his palm with a handkerchief, standing by his desk.
“I cut it,” Hanjun said.
“It’s not like you to be so clumsy. Show me.” Li Ying took a look around, marched out, and shortly returned with some first aid supplies. “Alright, let’s see.”
Hanjun held his hand out for Li Ying, who dabbed the wound with disinfectant. Hanjun didn’t budge, but Li Ying noticed him grimacing. Li Ying inspected the wound and found it was still bleeding.
“It’s not bad, hand wounds just tend to bleed,” Li Ying said. “This should only need some bandaging to get better in a few days.” Li Ying bandaged Hanjun’s hand with some swabs and gauze. “Junjun is being a very good patient.”
Hanjun was quiet.
