Lin Xiaotian had left only a couple of days ago when An Xiaomian received her phone call.
On the other side of the call, Lin Xiaotian whispered to An Xiaomian, "Xiao Mian, I'm going to visit Li Zimo's rural hometown to pay respects to his parents, my in-laws, today, and I'm feeling so nervous."
Hearing this, An Xiaomian comforted her, "Don't be nervous. Just remember that they are the parents of the person you love, and think of them as your own parents, then you'll feel much better."
Lin Xiaotian quickly calmed down, and just as she was about to say something else, she heard Li Zimo calling her. She then had to tell An Xiaomian she would call her back in the evening and hung up.
After hanging up the phone, An Xiaomian sat in front of the window, staring blankly at the outside scenery.
It's really quiet here.
It's as if nothing had ever happened.
I wonder if my departure has given Shangguan Xiu a sense of relief.
