Until 8 o'clock that night.
Suddenly, the sound of the gradually approaching car engine filled the courtyard and pulled Jing Yiren from her thoughts, she instinctively hopped out of bed.
She ran towards the balcony, her bare feet brushing against the roses.
An army jeep pulled into the courtyard, identical to the one she'd seen yesterday.
Lu Ming got out of the car, swung the door shut. He lifted his head, his soft gaze mingling with Jing Yiren's, gracing her with a radiant smile.
"..." Jing Yiren looked at him for several seconds before she came back to her senses; realizing that it was indeed Lu Ming who had returned, she slowly broke into a smile.
Her heart finally settled in her chest.
They looked at each other for a long while before Lu Ming finally averted his gaze, striding towards the house.
He kicked off his shoes at the door and sprinted up the stairs.
