The two continued to chat about their recent lives. Since it was their first time alone, the atmosphere was slightly awkward and shy, filled with that unique blend of youthful ambiguity and flirtation.
As the sun set in the west, Chen Xiangbei glanced at the time and then said, "I should get going."
"So soon?"
Dong Yuanxi felt that they hadn't been sitting for long.
"Yes, I've got a ticket for the evening train to East Sea."
This time, Chen Xiangbei chose not to fly back. Instead, he opted for an overnight sleeper train, which allowed him to sleep and arrive conveniently, saving both time and effort.
"Well...should I see you off?"
"No need, thank you."
With that, Chen Xiangbei stood up.
The two walked to the store's entrance. Dong Yuanxi wanted to say something more, but Chen Xiangbei casually waved goodbye and turned to leave.
Although Chen Xiangbei was quite straightforward, he wasn't oblivious. He could vaguely sense a unique sentiment from Dong Yuanxi.
