On the winding mountain path, two young people were climbing up. They wore matching outfits – white short-sleeved t-shirts with gray athletic pants, dressed cleanly and refreshingly. The man was tall, wearing sneakers and carrying a large backpack. The girl was also tall, traveling light with her ponytail swinging behind her as she was pulled…

The taxi drove from her aunt’s house to Tong County’s long-distance bus station, passing through the main road of Fucun Town. Luo Jingyu’s mood was calm now, finally having a chance to properly look at the place where Huanhuan was born and grew up. They passed by the elementary and middle schools where Zhan Xi…

In the evening, Zhan Xi received a call from her brother. Zhan Jie said, “Huanhuan, come to Lili’s engagement ceremony tomorrow.
