"Should we call Meng Yizhou?" Shi Jin asked.
"Sure. Might as well ask him to come out and meet you. I've been meaning to introduce you."
Lan Tian went to call Meng Yizhou. When she returned, she said, "He said he had something to do out of the city today. He'll meet us next time."
"It's okay." In fact, Shi Jin already understood that this Meng Yizhou matter was confirmed, and it was not the first time.
Her heart ached for Lan Tian, but for a moment she could not form the words. Should she tell her about this? How should she begin?
"Let's go." Lan Tian linked arms with Shi Jin as they headed out.
They walked into the alley together.
It was getting dark. The streetlights weren't on yet. The alleyways were dim and the road was long.
Shi Jin asked, "Do you usually walk this far alone?"
