Xu Xunsheng hadn't been able to contact her all day. He had actually considered bringing her along but feared she would be bored. She probably didn't like these kinds of events or waiting aimlessly for him. Moreover, he didn't want people to scrutinize the woman behind him with their probing eyes. Thinking about this made Cen Ye feel inexplicably restless. Subconsciously, he took out his phone, clicked on her WeChat profile picture, and with a thought, opened her Moments. To his surprise, he actually saw that she had posted new photos today.
Mountain peaks, blue skies, streams, bamboo rafts, and the shadows of the sunlight filtering through tree branches on the rocks. But she wasn't in any of them. She never liked taking selfies.
Did she go alone?
A complex mix of feelings surged inside Cen Ye—heartache, guilt, jealousy, anger... and a deep sense of dejection from being left behind. He texted her, "Have you returned to base?"
Xu Xunsheng replied promptly, "Yes."
"Was it fun?"
