Xu Qingyan returned to the underground parking garage of the residential complex, sighed, and took out her mobile phone to call Shen Jinyue.
Upstairs.
Shen Jinyue, with a depressed expression, returned to the apartment, her upper body draped over the sofa as she sat on the solid wood floor beside the living room couch.
The living room lights were off, shrouded in dimness.
She took out her mobile phone and launched "Love Hunter," which was airing its seventh and final episode that night. On the screen, the camera focused on the annoying Xu Qingyan.
In the dim living room, only the glow from the mobile phone remained, like the sole lighthouse in a vast sea.
Shen Jinyue curled up beside the sofa, eyes glued to the screen, revisiting the moment before they had parted.
During the days of the romance reality show, she had a lot of fun. Every morning someone would take her for breakfast, and she could banter with others and laugh in front of the camera.
