Ji Ling laughed, and as she laughed, she started to cry.
It's been three years, three years since Gu Zhi disappeared without a word!
Tears soaked Ji Ling's pillowcase, and only then did she belatedly realize this wasn't her home.
After a brief moment of panic, Ji Ling regained her calm.
She even wanted to thank Zhang Xian for breaking her phone, otherwise, her mom's incessant calls might have exploded her phone by now.
Ji Ling carefully moved closer to that familiar back.
She then cautiously draped her arm over her.
The figure in front of her didn't vanish; this time, it wasn't a dream. Ji Ling contentedly closed her eyes and embraced Gu Zhi as she fell asleep.
Gu Zhi, held by Ji Ling, quietly curled the corners of her lips.
...
Ji Ling didn't come home one night, and Mu Keying was so worried she couldn't sleep well all night.
She tried calling Ji Ling, but the call wouldn't go through.
Mu Keying was so anxious she almost called the police.
