As he was leaving the exhibition hall, Han Xiao went back to find Li Yalin to make up for the unfinished hug. In that moment, there was no status difference between them, just a reunion of friendship.
Twenty years had passed just like that, and his first group of friends all had their own personal experiences. Everyone had the freedom to make their own choices, and he would not interfere. Thus, after repaying his 'debt', he did not say anything else to Li Yalin.
After bidding goodbye, Han Xiao and Ames spent another ten or so days touring Planet Aquamarine's major cities. When they were spotted, numerous people would rush up to take pictures with them. This happened all the way until they met up with Bennett.
Since there were a multitude of photos posted on social media, Bennett knew that Han Xiao would definitely go to him and only waited, not disturbing him this time.
