"Alina, eavesdropping on me playing the flute over there—have you figured out how you're going to pay for the performance?" Yang Xi's lips curved upward into a playful smirk. He had known Alina was there all along, but deliberately chose not to expose her little secret.
Alina gave a slight start, a blush spreading across her cheeks, but she quickly regained her composure. Pretending not to hear what Yang Xi had said, she hurried over to him, stealthily wiping away a tear at the corner of her eye, and said with a feigned cheerful smile, "It sounded so wonderful, I got completely lost in the music! I completely forgot I was supposed to deliver these documents to you!" With that, she handed the thick, bound stack of documents to Yang Xi.
Yang Xi took the papers, flipped through a few pages, and a satisfied smile touched the corners of his mouth. He looked up at Alina, his eyes glowing with warmth, and kissed her smooth forehead as he said softly, "Thank you, my dear. These documents are extremely important to me."
