Jiang Xin looked at Lin Ye, thinking she needed to quickly set some rules for him, so he would come on time every day.
Then she recalled how Lin Ye's first reaction upon seeing her was to think he was late, and he apologized.
Jiang Xin suddenly realized it might be because Lin Ye didn't have a watch, so he had no idea what time it actually was.
That's why, upon seeing her, his first reaction was to think he was late.
Jiang Xin thought, when she has time tomorrow, she needs to find a watch from the storage to give to Lin Ye.
Let him arrive at the market at nine every day, exactly on time, not a minute early.
Jiang Xin thought to herself.
On Lin Ye's side, hearing Jiang Xin's words, he was a bit taken aback; he didn't expect he wasn't late.
This was truly unexpected for Lin Ye.
He actually had a quartz clock at home, and he had checked the time before leaving, accounting for the travel time on the road before heading out.
