The visitor clasped his fingers tightly together, as if narrating a story: "At that time, when I went to the court and saw Teacher Nan, I was really startled..."
[Frowning slightly.]
[Blinking frequency slowed, gaze fixed.]
[Leaning forward...]
[Nervous? Nervous with a sense of expectation?]
Nan Zhubin's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "Yes, thankfully you were there at that time, otherwise something unexpected might have really happened."
The consultant explained casually as if chatting: "At that time, my colleague and I went to the court to work on a project, and I didn't expect to run into you."
"But you know the confidentiality agreement; outside, I had to pretend I didn't know you. So, even though I saw you at first and wanted to say hello, I held back and pretended not to recognize you."
The visitor blinked after hearing Nan Zhubin's words, and then let out a couple of "haha," with a laugh full of social cues:
"...Is that so."
