Three years?
Does his Zaozao have to wait three years before she can go home with him?
What a long wait that would be!
Ye Que felt a bit unhappy inside, but he didn't want to let his displeasure show in front of Chi Zaozao, so he turned to her and said, "Then I'll head back first?"
Chi Zaozao nodded.
Ye Que really turned around and left. Chi Zaozao saw him off into the distance before she withdrew her gaze and leaned against the headboard, lost in thought.
She had to urge Ye Que to go back quickly; he couldn't just stay here for her sake, could he?
She didn't want to be a burden to him.
That night, Chi Zaozao didn't fall asleep again.
In the early morning, as the sky barely brightened, the inner hall doors were pushed open.
Chi Zaozao was doing her hair. Hearing the fast-approaching footsteps, she turned around.
It was Ye Que, looking anxious.
She frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
