The two of them headed in the direction of home.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaotian had woken up and didn't notice he was alone until he walked out to the entrance and saw Bai Ruoxue sitting by herself on the bench at the doorway, looking somewhat desolate.
A twinge of heartache rose in Zhao Xiaotian's chest, so he approached Bai Ruoxue.
"Ruoxue, what are you doing here by yourself? Why are you alone?" Zhao Xiaotian asked.
"Xiaotian, you're here. I am alone. Everyone else is in pairs, and I'm just the odd one out, mercilessly abandoned." Bai Ruoxue said with a grievance.
Having Zhao Xiaotian appear by her side brought some comfort to her heart.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaotian was there with her.
They were both single dogs.
"Hey, it's okay, I'm here, aren't I?" Zhao Xiaotian said with a goofy smile.
"Right, you're still here with me." Bai Ruoxue was pleased, grabbing Zhao Xiaotian's shoulder, her pretty face beaming with happiness.
