Chapter 262: Surprise

October 5th.

Wrapped in blankets, the two of them sat on the beach and watched the sunrise before packing up their things and starting the journey back home.

The train sped along, arriving in Luo City by evening.

It was dark when they traveled from Luo City to Green Island, mainly because transferring in unfamiliar cities had delayed them, but on the return trip, they made it home before nightfall, with a hint of the sunset's afterglow still lingering.

Without dawdling after a whole day's travel, the two had dinner, took a quick bath, and hopped into bed—one playing Fight the Landlord and the other flipping through a novel—until it was about time to turn off the bedroom lights, bid each other goodnight, and fall asleep in each other's arms.

A night of peaceful sleep.
