Lin Xingjie wandered around the forest before returning. When she reached the shore, she found Xu Xiangyang leaning alone against the railing, blowing in the lake breeze and staring off into the green mountains on the opposite bank, already changed into a set of clean and tidy new clothes.
Her gaze circled around, not spotting the figure of the other girl, so she asked,
"Where's Qing Yue?"
"She already left."
Xu Xiangyang said.
"Shall we go then?"
"Yeah."
He picked up his backpack, casually slinging it over his shoulder, ready to leave along the main road.
Looking at her boyfriend's retreating figure, Lin Xingjie felt a bit unsettled and couldn't help but call out,
"Wait, I have something to ask you."
"Hmm?"
Xu Xiangyang turned around.
"How did your chat go?"
Xu Xiangyang blinked. He couldn't figure out exactly what she was asking about, so he gave a rough summary.
"...It really can't be said to have gone well."
Lin Xingjie nodded, clearly not too surprised.
