Chapter 1342: More Visitors for New Year's Greetings

Chiang Xiao initially figured Meng Xinian would return after two months.

When he didn't make it back after two months, she mentally prepared herself for half a year.

She thought the half-year would fly by quickly, and once it was gone, Meng Xinian would return. But as half a year passed, her first senior semester had ended, she had created several new paintings, and she had organized a small-scale art exhibition with her teacher Liu Guoying. Both their reputations soared anew, and many of their paintings sold, but he still hadn't returned.

However, he did make one phone call saying that the conditions were tough at the border, and it was almost impossible to find a place to make calls. They took turns traveling to a distant town to buy food, and then they'd use the town's public phone to call home.

A single call could only last fifteen minutes at most.

Chiang Xiao could only share the important things with him.
