That night, Tu Hengsha said a string of baffling words and then left. Before leaving, he even gave her a hug. She was so stunned by his words that she didn't notice how he hugged her or how he left. By the time she came to her senses, she could only see his back. His large coat swayed slightly in the wind and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
She stood under the tree where he often waited for her.
The branches were desolate. This winter, not even a dead leaf was left for it.
The next day at work, everything was as usual. She was still assigned by Deng Lin to go with Ronggui for news gathering. What he talked about was mostly work, as if the person from that night was just someone in her dreams.
When he and she talked about work, things between them were usually harmonious. So, as long as they didn't touch on sensitive topics, working together wasn't difficult.
