A Journey for Two in a Foreign Land

Southern Airport.

People came and went.

The Jewelry Expo that had lasted half a month had long since drawn to a close.

Yet its aftershocks remained.

One expo had shown the Western world Daxia's prosperity, its charm, its profound cultural heritage, and had etched this coastal city called Yangcheng deep into their memories.

During this time, international flights had continuously added new routes, and Southern Airport had grown ever livelier and more bustling.

Countless people set out from here on journeys to foreign lands, carrying the dreams of their lives as they flew abroad.

Countless others returned across borders, carrying the realization that fallen leaves must return to their roots.

Her heart was utterly calm.

A faint ripple stirred in her eyes.

Xiao Su, my love, where are you?

To have spent this stretch of time with you amid this boundless crowd meant that Changye's world had not contained only an endless long night—there had once been a ray of starlight!

The starry sky was silent; there was no one, no message, no one to rely on...

Changye entered the waiting hall.

As the electronic announcement sounded, she passed through the boarding Gate. At that moment, her appearance had changed completely, and so had her identity.

But no matter
