By the time Ji Xiaosong came out after changing her clothes, Xu Weidong had already boiled some hot water.
He stood by the stove, kettle in one hand. Hot water RUSHED into an enamel basin. His movements were clean and efficient, without a single drop splashing out.
"Wash up."
He pushed the enamel basin toward her and turned to leave.
Ji Xiaosong blinked, then suddenly reached out and tugged his sleeve. "Brother Wei Dong, that watch on your wrist... it's quite nice."
Xu Weidong stopped in his tracks, his eyes darkening slightly. "The factory issued it."
"Ooh..."
Ji Xiaosong drew out the word, her gaze lingering for a second on the "scratch" at the edge of the watch face. She then let go with a grin. "So, can I get one too in the future?"
Xu Weidong's brow twitched, as if he hadn't expected her to ask that. "...We can talk about it after you start working at the factory."
With that, he strode out of the house, his back as straight and tall as a pine tree.
