They arrived in Cannes in the evening.
The film festival wasn't slated to start for another two days, so the film crew deliberately left two days free for everyone to explore.
After checking in to the hotel and having her luggage sent to her room, An Ziqi immediately texted Xiao Moli.
I've arrived.
A minute later, she received a call back from Xiao Moli.
"What are you up to?"
An Ziqi flopped onto the bed, "Just got my luggage sorted. About to go out and grab something to eat, what about you?"
On the other end, Xiao Moli paused before replying, "I miss you!"
An Ziqi rolled onto her back, staring at the ceiling.
Even though they'd only been apart for one day, hearing Xiao Moli's voice again made her realize how much she missed him already.
"I miss you too!"
"Good girl, I'll come and keep you company as soon as my work wraps up."
There was an apparent trace of fatigue and hoarseness in Xiao Moli's voice over the phone.
