Xu Mey furrowed her brows at his reply and questioned, "What do you mean? Did something happen? You can share it with me."
Jie sighed before he turned around and wrapped his arms around his wife's shoulders from behind while he placed his forehead on her shoulder, "Ru is gone."
"And?" retorted Xu Mey in a calm voice and careless manner as if it wasn't something shocking even to her. "Doesn't Sensei always vanish like this? Why do you look so worried this time?"
