But Zhulan, the one being earnestly thought of, truly did write a letter to Zhou Shuren. However, a heavy snowfall prevented the letter from being sent out, so she could only hold onto it tightly in her hand.
As the days went by, one after another, it wasn't until the twelfth day that Zhou Shuren finally received Zhulan's letters—several of them arriving all at once.
Zhulan's first letter recounted her journey and experiences, ending with a question asking whether Zhou Shuren had been eating on time and taking good care of himself.
The second letter mentioned the heavy snowfall that had blocked the roads and prevented the previous letter from being sent out.
The subsequent letters detailed her days spent in West State City, and she subtly expressed her longing for Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren's stern face finally lit up with joy. After eating alone for twelve days, he at last joined the main hall for dinner.
