Hei Chai chased all the way to the border and didn't even see a single hem of Xie Shichen's clothes; she was on the verge of a complete breakdown.
She cried her eyes out in the tiny border police station.
In the end it was the police comrades who helped her buy a plane ticket and put her on the plane; only then did she return to Capital City.
When he saw the video of Hei Chai squatting in the police station lobby, clutching her knees and wailing her heart out, Xie Shichen felt so distressed he could hardly stand it. No matter what, he wanted to go to the airport to pick her up and stop playing hide-and-seek.
He Jin dragged him back. "The timing isn't ripe yet."
Xie Shichen was about to collapse. "My Hei Chai was already in that state, and you say the timing isn't ripe?"
He Jin said, "It's still a bit short. If you go see her now, it won't hurt enough to remember. Most likely you'll just show up and get beaten up by Hei Chai, and then the two of you will split for good."
