Nian Yuyu gripped her cell phone tightly, excitement and joy monopolizing her emotions.
The entrance to the residential area came into view, and through the openwork iron fence, she saw the familiar figure she had been longing for these past few days.
After swiping through the access control, she threw herself into Chu You's arms.
The two embraced affectionately, oblivious to the world around them.
After a few seconds, Nian Yuyu reluctantly raised her head. "Why did you come?" she asked.
Chu You looked down at her with a soft, spreading smile in his eyes.
"I missed you, so I came," he said.
Nian Yuyu felt a bit shy, and buried her head in his shoulder again.
"Then are you going to go back tonight?" she asked.
Chu You's expression tensed for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
"No need, I've taken my annual leave," he replied.
Nian Yuyu was again taken aback.
"Annual leave?" she repeated.
