543 An Impromptu Journey (7)

Song Qingchun stayed in Japan for half a month. The whole time she was there, she cut off all connection to Beijing; her phone was switched off the whole time.

She went from Hokkaido to Fuji Mountain, then from Fuji Mountain to Osaka, then moved onto Kyoto before ending up in Tokyo. She experienced many interesting and happy things along the way.

While taking the spring bath at Hokkaido, she found a girl who was in a situation similar to her. They bonded over their shared pain and became fast friends. They were both there alone to find a little distance from the past. They travelled together for three days, and on their last night together, both girls got wasted at a local bar. With faltering steps, they walked to the Hokkaido seaside, and in her drunken state, her new friend started yelling her lost love's name at the wide open sea.
