Ji Xingfan took a taxi to the city center, asking the driver to take her directly to the hotel that Bai Jin mentioned in his message.

Sitting in the car, Ji Xingfan saw through the window in front of her a man wearing a black windbreaker walking. From the man's back, she recognized it was Bai Jin. So he did come... She felt an impulse to get out of the car, but the car passed him in a flash. Bai Jin seemed to have sensed something; he looked to his side, only to notice a dark green car window. From within one could see outside the window, but an outsider could not see within. So he saw nothing, but had a strange feeling as he continued to stare.

Arriving at the hotel, Ji Xingfan couldn't wait to get off the car. She took down the luggage, thanked the driver, and quickly ran to the door, muddleheadedly looking at Bai Jin, who had his eyes to the floor, walking on the road!

Bai Jin had been looking for Ji Xingfan constantly ever since he came to B City, but no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to find her. Agin this morning, he went out to look around for her, but failed again. The company was still calling him in desperation for him to come back, he grew so impatient with those people that he even scolded them. Exhausted, he trudged toward the hotel. A military vehicle passed by, his heart leaped suddenly, and he looked up unconsciously yet saw nothing and thought his own behavior a bit strange. He shook his head while smirking, his mood then became gloomy again[Office1] .

When he was about to arrive at the entrance to the hotel, he looked up unintentionally and then froze. The lady he had been looking for and worrying about all this time was standing right in front of him. He started to doubt if he was hallucinating. Seeing Bai Jin approaching, Ji dropped the bag in her hand, and without saying a word, ran into the arms of Bai Jin, tenaciously holding onto him. Only until Ji was tight in his arms did Bai Jin realize it really was Ji Xingfan. He pressed her in his embrace, both did not speak a word.

After a while, Bai Jinput on a sulky look[Office2] and pulled Ji Xingfan away from him, "Why didn’t you answer the phone?"

Ji tiptoed, holding his neck, and carefully staring at him. His eyes had dark circles, showing that these days he didn’t sleep well. His short, black, thick hair was not neat, his eyes blood shot, face haggard, and his original image of a meticulous elite was far from what it used to be.

Though Ji Xingfan’s eyes turned slightly red, she cracked a big smile, "Hey, here I am!" Understanding her position in his heart, Ji Xingfan felt so sweet like her heart was full of sweet honey, an overflowing pot of honey.

"You're still laughing!" Bai Jin said unpleasantly with a strict look, "Did you know I..." He almost became crazy from missing her. Words just on the tip of his tongue, but it was too hard to utter them. To avoid her from being too proud, he said, “If next time you do this kind of thing, I will not look for you. I’ll leave you alone outside. I won’t care a bit whatever you do.”

Ji Xingfan ingratiated him with a smil again.

"Tell me, where have you been all this time? Why don't you answer your phone or text back?"

Ji raised her hand and gently rubbed his cheeks. His beard was not clean-shaven and felt a little prickly. He looked a bit untidy. Ji Xingfan touched the dark circles on his eyes gently, her heart aching a bit, “You’ve become kind of old.”

Bai Jin feeling gloomy almost vomited blood, "Why don't you consider for whom I am so worried for? Don't change the subject. Tell me! Where the hell have you been and why did you disappear? What happened?”
