Separation (3)

Su Chen looked down at Ji Zitong's fair hands. After a while, he responded, "It'll be at the end of the month. When Grandfather talked about this, he said that there's a good date at the end of June, so it'll be great if we make it then. I'll call you when I reach there."

"Okay, then you be careful, and uhh, take care of yourself." Ji Zitong pulled her hand away and looked up slowly at him.

Su Chen nodded as he took a careful look at her. Then, he could not help but walk up by half a step and pull her into his embrace.

Despite being stunned, Ji Zitong did not reject him. Instead, she lifted her hands slightly and hung them uncertainly in the air for a while before gently hugging him back.
