Li Si and Leng Mochen handled all the arrangements and boarded the flight to Beijing on Christmas Eve.
To avoid the bittersweet farewell scene, Li Si declined Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan's offer to see her off, accompanying Leng Mochen onto the plane headed for Beijing.
In the first-class cabin, Li Si stared blankly out the plane window, lost in thought. Leng Mochen gently stroked her silky hair, "What's on your mind?"
Li Si turned her head, her face tinged with sorrow, "I'm wondering about what's to come. All the unfamiliarity ahead—will I regret this decision?"
"You won't regret it. You've got me," Leng Mochen held her tightly in his arms. "Get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we arrive."
Li Si obeyed and closed her eyes, leaning against his warm shoulder. After a while, her chaotic thoughts faded, and she unexpectedly fell asleep.
