In the nearby estate, Zi Wei was looking at the letter that Yue Lian had sent via carrier pigeon. She informed him that she had arranged an identity for him, one that wouldn't arouse Su Yingxue's suspicions. She urged him to pursue what he desired without worry for her.
Zi Wei looked at the pigeon on the table. Not one to write often, he penned a response to Yue Lian. His message was brief, just one phrase: "Safe, sorry."
The further he was from her, the greater his guilt grew.
She had arranged everything for him so meticulously that she even thought of things he had not anticipated himself.
Her thoroughness and consideration made his affairs much easier, but...
The more he owed her.
By the time Yue Lian received his reply, she was already on her way to Shaoshan. Seeing the four words Zi Wei had written to her, she pressed the note to her heart and kept it there at all times, except when bathing.
