The broadcast announcing the boarding call made everyone tense.
Their gazes quickly shifted away from each other as they each went their separate ways.
——
Their distance seemed appropriate, suited to being across an ocean.
After boarding the plane, Zhuo Jian's mind kept echoing with what Ruxiang had said.
Ruxiang said that he turned to her only after having a one-night stand with Wang Rui.
Zhuo Jian thought to herself that the person she used to be would definitely not have minded.
As long as he turned to her, the girl who admired him, who had a crush on him, would have welcomed him with open arms without hesitation.
But now, she did not want to love so humbly anymore.
Once back, Ouyang Ping asked her, "Didn't you run into each other in A City?"
"We did, at the airport."
Zhuo Jian spoke calmly, lowering her gaze as she sipped her bitter coffee.
"And then? He didn't ask you to stay? He should have said something, right?"
