Shi Yang had been gone for more than half a month without returning home. The only thing Zhao Meimei could find comfort in was flipping through her phone and looking at their photos together.
When Shi Yang called to say he'd be back the next day, Zhao Meimei was so excited she couldn't sleep that night, just like when she used to stay up on New Year's Eve as a child, staring wide-eyed, hoping time would pass faster.
Shi Yang drove back from the provincial capital, deliberately wearing sportswear.
When Zhao Meimei saw Shi Yang, her eyes lit up. She was accustomed to seeing him in a suit, so seeing him in casual sportswear made him look youthful and lively, with a different expression between his brows.
To welcome Shi Yang home, both families gathered together. Shi Yang's father left the factory early, and Zhao Meimei took leave from her cram school.
