After a few peaceful days in the village, the time had finally come for Anna and Mo Xing to return home. The village had become a temporary refuge for them, a place where they had rediscovered each other and healed old wounds. Now, as they prepared to leave, there was a lingering sense of bittersweetness in the air.
The news of their departure spread quickly, and soon Liang's compound was filled with villagers eager to bid farewell to the couple who had become such a significant part of their lives, even if only for a short while. Men, women, and children alike gathered, bringing with them a warmth and energy that filled the space, turning what could have been a quiet goodbye into a full-fledged celebration.
