In the early spring, the airport terminal was bustling with crowds. Hu Yale stood near the arrivals gate, a fine layer of sweat beading on her palms. She had deliberately changed into the light blue dress that Shen Yanci loved most, carefully styled her hair, and even put on the perfume he had given her.

Those vows still echoed in her ears, and today, she had finally awaited the news of his return to the country.
