I don't know if she's touched or angry right now...
It's best not to have any of these thoughts, and even more so, not to act impulsively and then have the idea of flying back from the United States.

As I was imagining what Yang Sisi would do, I vaguely saw Ye Zhi's figure under a street lamp. She was standing by the railing, turned to the side and facing me...
I took a few more steps forward and confirmed that it was indeed Ye Zhi.
Chen Jin was still rambling on on the phone, but I couldn't hear a word he said, so I hung up.
