As evening fell, the sunset set the sky afire with a crimson glow, the reflection of the red clouds spreading across the sky.
When Nian Yuyu arrived at Renhe Hospital, instead of heading to the Orthopedics Department as she had last time, she sent a message to Chu You and quietly waited on a bench in the small garden of the hospital.
The hot wind of dusk carried an unknown floral scent as the branches of the trees rustled noisily in the breeze, lush with leaves.
When Chu You came out of the hospital, he saw Nian Yuyu from a distance, her head bowed in thought, seemingly lost in a despondent malaise.
He pursed his lips and strode towards her.
"Chu You." Hearing the footsteps, Nian Yuyu looked up and met Chu You's gaze but didn't rush into his arms with the usual enthusiasm.
Chu You sat down beside Nian Yuyu, gently touched her head, and asked tenderly, "What's wrong? Feeling down?"
Nian Yuyu nuzzled his palm and hugged him, sounding somewhat glum, "Mm."
