1. Jing xiu's assistant, yao xiao
2. "Please, come in."
3. "Sorry about that earlier. Miss jing was catching up on some sleep from the jet lag,"
4. "So she's just a bit grumpy from being woken up all of a sudden."
5. "I hope you don't take her behavior towards your assistant personally."
6. "What are you saying, xiaoxiao?"
7. "Although it's been a while, you don't have to be so formal with me."
1. "We just didn't want to bother mentor jing during her time of rest."
2. "Is she still resting? Is it convenient for us to check in right now?"
3. "If not, then..."
4. "Xiaoxiao, who is it?"
5. "Miss jing, it's miss ji and her assistant."
6. "You were half-awake when you answered the door for them,"
7. "And then proceeded to shut them outside."
1. "Miss ji..."
1. "It's been a while, a' xiu."
2. "We...finally meet again."
3. "It really has been a while."
4. "Won't you come over and reminisce about the past together?"
1. "Do you want anything to drink?"
2. "Xiaoxiao just prepared some afternoon refreshments for me."
1. "Thank you..."
2. This is the defensive attitude jing xiu puts up for people whom she's not familiar with.
1. Although seemingly polite, she's actually putting up an invisible boundary between us.
2. I never thought that I'd be on the receiving end of it. She's so closed off...
3. "A' xiu, I..."
1. "IT'S JING XIU."
2. TL/N: The prefix A' indicates closeness and affection, thus Jing Xiu telling Ji Youyan to use her full name is drawing a clear line between them.
3. "HMPH,"
4. "FORGET IT."
1. "There's nothing worth reminiscing between us."
2. *notice the fist clenched in her dress?
3. "It's been a long day and I'm tired."
4. "I haven't even had the time to wash up yet, so I'll be excusing myself first."
1. "!"
1. "Miss ji, do you still have a dislike for chocolate?"
2. "It's not bitter. In fact, it tastes pretty good. Miss jing really likes this flavour!"
3. "A'xi... I thought jing xiu..."
4. "Liked matcha-flavoured ones in the past."
5. "Don't try to make me feel better, she hates bitter as much as I do."
1. "You've already said it's in the past. These last few years, she..."
2. "Nevermind."
3. "I'll be looking for miss jing first."
1. "It's all in the past, huh."
2. Before we broke up.
