Lin Xiangsi was quite surprised to hear that Mu Mian had returned, but seeing Xue Ye's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying.
It was not until Mu Mian actually appeared at the doorway, calling out her name, that the reality set in.
Xue Ye immediately rushed forward excitedly, "Mianmian, I've been waiting for you for so long."
Lin Xiangsi stood there, observing Xue Ye's excitement, a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes, but seeing how happy Xue Ye was, as if truly alive. Thinking back on how Xue Ye had seemed barely alive these past three years, in fact, this happiness seemed quite good.
She was genuinely happy for Xue Ye.
Mu Mian, seeing Xue Ye and Lin Xiangsi so cheerful, sat together with them, chatting. There wasn't much to discuss, but they talked about trivial matters, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Xue Ye had changed his demeanor, becoming as suave and debonair as he used to be, not as unkempt as when she had seen him a couple of days earlier.
