The airport's announcement echoed in Jiangqi City at one o'clock in the morning.
A woman emerged from the exit, dragging her luggage along. She was dressed in formal office wear, the lines of her clothes sharply creased. Underneath, she wore a pair of high heels, and her hair was piled up into a neat bun at the back of her head. Her black-rimmed glasses gave her a stern appearance.
Her face did not betray any signs of fatigue, but rather, a hint of excitement as she briskly walked away.
Lu Nanchen, I'm back.
...
The sun gradually rose from the horizon, marking the start of the day.
After Yu Ting's fever subsided at 1:30 a.m., Lu Nanchen finally resettled the guest room and took a shower before going to bed.
He fell asleep at 2 a.m. and set his alarm for a class at 8 a.m. At 7 a.m., he was awakened by the alarm. He got up, dressed, groomed and then went to the master bedroom. He touched Yu Ting's forehead with the back of his hand, tucked her in, and then left the room.
