During the year Lin Chu returned to An City, she spent more time in the detention center than outside.
This was her third release from the detention center, and she met Ji Wanxia, whom she hadn't seen for six years.
On the surface, there wasn't a trace of desolation or dead silence, but Lin Chu knew that, like her, Ji Wanxia's heart was already riddled with holes.
In this familiar yet strange city, she was finally not supporting herself alone.
The Ji Family Villa, which had been burned to ashes, was restored to its original state, and Lin Chu stayed there for most of the day, feeling like her starved stomach for two months was filled with just two meals.
The evening light was very soft.
Pea sang along with the nursery rhymes from the cartoons playing on the TV, making Lin Chu feel this was what a child should be like.
The two snuggled on the sofa, and Ji Wanxia looked at Lin Chu as if she were looking at an idiot, "Are you stupid? Is it fun in the detention center?"
