"Yes, of course I'm going back…" Gu Nianzhi broke into a happy grin, her voice naturally turning into honey, "Huo Shao, do you miss me?"

"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng calmly replied but a hint of a smile flashed through his eyes as he shared a glance with Gu Nianzhi through the video call.

After a long moment, she reached out to stroke his face on the screen and said quietly, "I miss you too, everyday…"

"Then I'll come pick you up?" Huo Shaoheng typically had no time to pick Gu Nianzhi up on Friday and according to schedule he typically finished all his work Saturday at 6am. But with the spell cast by Gu Nianzhi's longing gaze, he decided to not sleep tonight and continue working so he could pick her up 7 or 8pm on Friday.

Gu Nianzhi nodded happily and said with generosity, "Ok, I'll wait for you." She then added with some regret, "I didn't drive my car here, otherwise I'd take you for a ride."
