Yao Yao nodded and replied, "Yes, the Saturday before last, I went to Huangqi Mountain."
Dong Ya stared in disbelief: "What are you two women and one man doing going to a place like that?"
As far as she knew, Huangqishan was not a scenic area; it was a very remote place that most people wouldn't go to.
Seeing her misunderstanding expression, Yao Yao didn't want to answer. Finally, feeling it necessary to clarify, she explained the reason and pointed out Dong Ya's misunderstanding: "We went hiking to relax, it wasn't as sordid as you think."
"Oh! Hiking?" This reason was plausible, and Dong Ya dared not show too much distrust, lest she anger the two women: "But it's also quite dangerous."
Yao Yao continued, "So Yi Yi contracted the terrible virus."
"I'm glad you're all safe and sound. I thought you had gone missing."
Dong Ya returned to normal, concealing her true feelings.
Yao Yao defused the awkwardness with a single sentence: "Don't worry, we'll miss you as our roommate."
"You're reluctant to part with me, but I'm even more reluctant to part with you!"
The three of them hugged each other and laughed.
...
Back in Chuyun City, life has returned to normal. Everything from the past few days feels like a dream.
Sometimes, Jiang Yimei didn't want to wake up from that state, so she could be with Lin Congzhi and forget all the troubles in her life.
Lin Congzhi was a really annoying person at times; she brought her a lot of things, a lot of hope, a lot of happiness; but she also brought her a lot of pain, a lot of sorrow, a lot of trouble.
If everything had gone smoothly, how could there be today's estrangement and predicament?
I can't think about it too much now, I can only take it one step at a time.
...
In the next room, Yao Yao was looking at photos on her phone, smiling foolishly.
She gained a lot from this trip abroad.
Given the mysterious feeling between her and Gao Jiakai, she believes it won't be long before she can win over this silly boy.
Just thinking about being able to snuggle into Gao Jiakai's warm embrace every day makes her beam with joy.
Under the same starry sky, Gao Jiakai also flipped through the photo of that cute little angel on his bed.
Sometimes, the innocent Yao Yao is truly beautiful, capable of melting his long-frozen heart; but sometimes, when she becomes fierce, she is a little devil, tormenting people to the point of indignation.
He didn't know what kind of feeling he had for Yao Yao.
Sometimes near, sometimes far; sometimes cold, sometimes hot; unpredictable.
If Yao Yao continues to be so gentle and lovely, being with her would actually be possible; but is such a possibility even possible? He wasn't very sure.
He didn't know what love was, nor did he know what love tasted like. But at this moment, all that could be seen in his mind was Yao Yao's image.
...
The next day at work, the company's employees saw the long-absent general manager and secretary Lin.
These two have been missing for over a week, haven't they? What are they doing? Did they go on their honeymoon?
Everyone was talking about it privately, but no one dared to speak too loudly or for too long.
Today, Lin Congzhi still seemed preoccupied, as if yesterday's events had not been resolved.
Jiang Yimei walked up to his desk and asked, "Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Lin Congzhi replied casually, "Taking good care of yourself is the biggest help you can give me."
"Hmph! You talk as if I'm a burden to you."
