On the first day back home, Su Zelin went to bed particularly early.
He washed up and went to sleep after dinner.
He texted Nanaz for a while in bed; she was still on the train.
At this time, green trains were especially slow, not just in speed, but they also often turned to small transfer stations, winding around in detours. It took most of a day for Jianglan to reach Lin'an, and a thousand kilometers could take a whole day and night.
Lin'an is about seven hundred kilometers from Rizhao. Ding Linna boarded the train in the afternoon, and she wouldn't get home until at least the next morning.
They chatted until past ten, yawning, and Nanaz was also tired, so they said goodnight to each other.
The night passed without a word.
The next morning, Su Zelin woke up feeling refreshed.
He got up to go for a morning run.
Busy with staying on campus during winter break, he almost hadn't exercised at all and needed to catch up.
