603 Alone (Second Update)_3

Xiao Hen walked toward him, and Fen Lin also ran toward Xiao Hen. The two stopped on the bluestone path in front of Hanlin Academy.

Fen Lin patted Xiao Hen on the shoulder, "It's been a long time. You've grown taller again!"

"Have I?" Xiao Hen said. "You seem to have gotten a bit stronger, too."

"That's right!" Fen Lin beamed.

Xiao Hen had planned to take a walk alone, but since a friend had arrived, going out to sit together didn't seem like a bad idea, "You came at just the right time, I..."

Before he could finish, Fen Lin turned back to the carriage and said, "Wife! Come down and meet Liulang! He's the top scholar I told you about!"

Xiao Hen was taken aback. Wife? Fen Lin was married?

"It's actually for the marriage that I requested leave. I only found out when I went back why my parents were so eager for me to return for the New Year. They had a marriage proposition for me..." Fen Lin explained somewhat sheepishly.
