100,000/Hour Professional Stand-in Chapter 43.3: Doesn’t Big Sis Like You? (3)

“It’d really be great if we could be together every day. It’s just that I also have a lot of things to handle. I have quite a few assignments I need to complete over the Christmas Holidays,” lamented Ji Xinxin with a sigh. “We should have time to meet up a couple of times though.
