They Will Accept You

He Xiyan froze just before she reached the metal gates when she spotted the familiar figure waiting nearby. It was Jiahang. He was dressed in a long coat and stood by the gates looking at his phone as though he was sending a text. 

He looked like he had lost weight since she last saw him a month ago and he looked a little haggard. 

He Xiyan bit her lip and for some reason, she felt terrible when she realized that Jiahang wasn't doing as well as she had hoped. 

She stood there staring at him and suddenly Jiahang looked up, and their eyes met. 

"Yan Yan..." Chen Jiahang gripped the metal gate with one hand and at that moment, she was all that he could see. 

He Xiyan stood frozen on the spot and her hands balled into fists. Her chest rose and fell rapidly as she forced herself to refrain from saying the words she longed to say to him.
