Back then, she had held him so tight, protected him so thoroughly, but why now, could she leave so easily, let go so effortlessly?
If it was because of her elder sister, then why did she wait for him that whole night?

In Lin City, at the coffee shop across from the station.
Ling Chuxia and Bai Yixuan sat facing each other. Ling Chuxia gazed steadily at Bai Yixuan, her eyes moving up and down, from left to right, scrutinizing him several times, with a hint of disbelief still evident in her gaze. She couldn't help but sigh, "Am I dreaming... Brother Xuan, are you sure you're real?"
As she muttered to herself, she reached out her hand, unapologetically pinching Bai Yixuan's face.
Her grip was not weak, pinching hard enough to make Bai Yixuan frown. He shook his head but didn't stop her, "So? Are you convinced I'm real now?"
