Song Lianyan said indignantly, “But this is too unfair to you…”
“As long as Yunzhi understands, I don’t care what others think!” Song Yunhua started the car, “Let’s go, don’t let your brother-in-law find out!”
The car sped away, splashing mud everywhere.
Of course, Gu Yunzhi couldn’t discover them. He forcibly suppressed his impulse to look back, walking away step by step amid Chu’e’s mournful cries, his heart shattering into pieces. A massive sadness struck his heart, causing him to bend over in pain.
In the pavilion, people were selling jade pendants, surrounded by a crowd of young men and women. Chu Yue approached and saw that various small pendants were engraved with different Chinese characters.
The saleswoman noticed her great interest and enthusiastically promoted, “Miss, you can choose a pendant engraved with your lover’s name – such a gift is very meaningful!”
Chu Yue looked around, her face somewhat disappointed. The saleswoman, puzzled, asked, “Miss, didn’t you find what you wanted? What character are you looking for? I’ll help you find it!”
“Forget it,” Chu Yue forced a smile and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, she turned back and softly uttered a word, “Yun!”
The saleswoman was stunned, then quickly responded, “Okay, I’ll help you find it!” She rummaged through the pendants, “Found it, look, Yun!”
“Thank you!” Chu Yue gratefully smiled, paid, carefully placed the pendant in her bag, and walked away.
Descending the mountain, she walked slowly, enjoying the scenery. Passing a small pavilion, a familiar surprised voice suddenly sounded: “Chu Chu?”
Chu Yue turned and saw Luo Xuan and Lin Lan. The greeting had come from Luo Xuan. “You two?” A faint smile crossed her lips, “Ah, Beijing is so small, you can run into acquaintances anywhere!”
“Indeed,” Lin Lan affectionately hooked her arm, “This season is when frost leaves are redder than February flowers. It would be a shame to miss it, so Luo Xuan squeezed out some time to accompany me to see the red leaves. Chu Chu, are you here alone?”
Chu Yue subtly freed herself from her grip, “I’m a lone wolf, not as lively as you two lovebirds!”
