Bai Xiaoruo stood up and apologized to everyone around her, "I'm full. You guys continue eating. I'm going out to digest."
"Hey? You're full after just a few bites?" Ji Shushu glanced at the half-eaten bowl of rice in Bai Xiaoruo's bowl. She had already eaten her second bowl, so how come Xiaoruo had only eaten a few bites?
"Okay, take your time eating."
She hurriedly left her seat and walked out of the room.
"Xiao Ruo."
Ji Ziqian followed.
"I'll go with you."

Maybe it would be better to leave her alone for a while.
Seeing Bai Xiaoruo walk out alone, Annie and Mu Qingyan secretly gave each other a high five: Yay! Xiaoruo took the bait!

Bai Xiaoruo was stunned for a moment.
The coat carried that familiar, faint scent of tobacco and jasmine; it was him.
She stopped and quickly turned around to look at the man who had appeared behind her at some point.
He's here.
It really is him.
Their eyes met, but neither of them uttered a word.
She instinctively reached out and hugged him.
It felt like a dream. She held on tightly, so afraid that he would disappear again in the next second.
