The ways of the world were indeed inescapable.
Ye Qianqian sat on her couch feeling bored. She picked up her cellphone and opened Shen Zhilie's chatbox.
Shen Zhilie was at the top of her WeChat list. His profile picture was a photo of him in his white medical coat. He looked fine.
She had not seen that face for a few days.
She was scrolling through and rereading their previous chats when her phone suddenly chimed and a notification appeared.
It was a WeChat message from Shen Zhilie.
Shen Zhilie's message was a little bizarre and consisted of only a few words. "Have you seen stars before?"
Ye Qianqian blinked her eyes, not getting his meaning.
Sissi: [???]
Shen Zhilie: [?]
Sissi: [I've seen them before.]
Shen Zhilie: [Have you seen a five-pointed star before?]
Sissi: [image]
Ye Qianqian doodled a five-pointed and sent the image over, followed by a playful emoticon.
