Traveling Separately

Also known as A Guide to Traveling in Yubeng

Rong Lingzhi had a fight with her boyfriend, and their relationship hit a freezing point.

Their perfectly ordinary pre-wedding trip turned into a solo trip for each of them after the argument.

Under a gloomy sky and endless drizzle, Diqing seemed nothing special after all. She stopped at the airport exit and sighed softly.

"What a coincidence." A large black umbrella shielded her from the slanting rain and cold wind. The eyes of the not-quite-stranger standing before her crinkled with a smile. "Want to go together?"

Sitting in the man's car, she gazed at the hazy lake outside the window, unable to understand how she had agreed to his invitation.

Her plans to go home kept getting postponed. Rong Lingzhi hung up on her boyfriend and looked at the man beside her as if nothing were wrong. "I should leave tomorrow."

Yu Chu seemed not to hear her. After a long while, he gave a slight nod. "Mm. I'll see you off."

"Who is he?"

"Hm?"

"The person you've been talking to on the phone all these days..."

Rong Lingzhi thought he wouldn't ask, and thought she wouldn't feel reluctant to leave. She pressed her lips together and avoided his eyes, but in the end she still said, "He's my boyfriend."
