That’s why I said I’d come meet you. Fighting traffic like that is so tiring. Here, have a drink of water.

體啊。多吃點維生素。

Actually, it’s fine. I’m used to it. You’ve been working a lot of overtime lately though. You need to watch your health. Make sure to take some extra vitamins.

You’re my best vitamin. As soon as I see you, I’m filled with excitement and all of my weariness is gone.

Well, you can see that I’m no smooth talker. It’s my first time writing a love letter, so I really didn’t know how to express myself. But you understand my heart.
