That afternoon, Kang Yijun also had to leave.
Lin Qiu worried that Lin Xia would feel even worse at the train station, so she and Song Zhiya went together to see him off.
According to Song Zhiya, who later recounted to Lin Xia, Kang Yijun had a private word with Lin Qiu before boarding the train;
exactly what was said remains unknown, but judging by the flush on Lin Qiu's face, it must have been sweet nothings.
Lin Xia chuckled at the thought and didn't go out of her way to ask Lin Qiu what Kang Yijun had specifically said to her.
Her younger sister was grown up now, and she deserved some privacy of her own.
If Lin Qiu wanted to share with her, she'd be all ears, but if she didn't want to, then she wouldn't ask.
Until she received feedback from Grandfather Qin Zeming, she intended to take a wait-and-see approach.
