Thankfully, Zhou Hui Lan arrived and coaxed Gu Shaoying away.
Gu Shaojun seized the opportunity to lead Xiao Man down the corridor to his room. They had finally met again after two years apart. She had grown taller and put on a little weight—a wonderful surprise for him.
"Xiao Man, Manman! I missed you so, so much. Whenever I dreamed, I saw you! That means you were thinking of me too, right?"
Xiao Man just smiled and replied, "Mm-hmm!"
"What does 'mm-hmm' mean? Tell me, did you miss me or not?"
"I did! I really did!"
"Who did you miss?"
"I missed… I missed you!"
"And who am I?"
"Brother Shaojun."
Gu Shaojun chuckled softly. 'She's grown taller and older, but I shouldn't be too hasty, or I'll scare her.'
"Brother Shaojun, you're injured too!"
