64 TEMPORARILY APART

It had been six months since their camping escapade. Winter had passed, and currently it's the middle of spring. Flowering buds were sprouting everywhere with a promise of a new chapter. With spring came the vibrant color and life that was wiped away during winter. It was rejuvenating.

"Hello. Have you arrived?" Chen Linyun inquired.

"Yes, Linyun. I'm here at the venue. How about you?" Xue Jinxu was in Canada visiting her friend Teng Man Rui's exhibit.

"I've also arrived in Hubei. I will be staying here for a few days. Alright, enjoy your vacation. Take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself too. Bye." She hung up.

Chen Linyun's broad grin was as bright as the sun.

Although Chen Linyun was physically away, he never let a day pass without them catching up with each other. They were even so much closer now that they were physically apart than when they were still living in the same apartment complex.
