The Quiet Café: Rendezvous 555

Yao Qing goes to a café to meet Tao Xing with a list to conclude their collaboration, but Tao Xing mistakenly assumes she has agreed to get back together, forcing the two to restate the purpose of the meeting. She returns a hard drive and confirms permissions, while he puts away the gift he had prepared after listening. With the handover finished, both depart separately without lingering over coffee to prolong an unsettled relationship; showing up as promised was to ensure the farewell truly happened.
