Nianzu took Chuntao to her home as per her request in the evening, to not get into the eyes of the people. They both rested in the room for some time. Chuntao lit a lantern and placed it over the table.
"Do you remember the day when I came to you and we both confessed our feelings for each other?" Nianzu asked her.
"Yes," Chuntao replied as she covered the feet of Nianzu with the blanket. "The floor is cold," she said and moved closer to him. Nianzu put his arm around her shoulder.
"We have come so far, holding each other's hands," Nianzu stated and passed a tiny smile to her. "I will be away for a few days," Nianzu suddenly informed her.
"Why?" She tilted her head to gaze at him.
