Song Luli received a phone call from Su Xiang the next morning.
"Luli," she said.
"Yes, Xiang? Is everything all right?" Song Luli responded, concerned.
"Hm, yes. Can I see you?" Su Xiang asked her.
"Yes. I'll send you my address," Song Luli said.
"All right, see you later."
Song Luli ended the call, providing Su Xiang with the address through text messaging. She had the day off and wasn't sure how to spend her free time outside the office. But seeing as her cousin would come over, she felt refreshed.
Su Xiang stopped by four hours later while Song Luli arranged her clothes in Long Jie's closet. At the door, Song Luli hugged her tightly. "It felt so long," Su Xiangannounced by greeting. "You forgot about your family already."
Song Luli grinned. "It goes both ways," she said.
