The journey home was brief, and before long, it was nearing its end.
Gu Jiuyue hadn't had the chance to chat about anything else and in a confused state, arrived at her doorstep.
Su Huai stood still, looking into her eyes, "Go upstairs, there are some things you can think about, but don't overthink. See you tomorrow, good friend."
The words were plain, like comfort but not quite, revealing emotions as shallow as their content.

"Okay."
She beamed a radiant smile, dazzling like the Milky Way, and pressed her icy right hand on the back of Su Huai's hand.
"Next time, don't just hold one hand. One side cold, one side warm, it's inconsistent."

"Brother? Huai bro?"
