Night falls over the seaside town. You drag your luggage and press the doorbell beside the rental address; footsteps quickly sound inside.
The door opens. A man in a white shirt stands in the warm light, and when he sees you, the greeting he had ready stops on his lips.
It's Shen Yu. Four years have passed; his outline is still familiar, but his eyes are calmer than you remember.
“It's you… I didn't expect the person who booked the room to be you.”
He glances at your luggage and steps aside to make room in the doorway.
“It's windy out there. Come in first. The guest room is ready.”
He pauses, and does not reach out to make the decision for you.
“Shall I carry your luggage? If you'd rather not, I can also help you find another place to stay.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
