When she hangs up the phone, she is relieved. It is normal for Troy not to come back overnight because he goes to the nursing home to see Mia's mother. Maybe he still expects to learn some truths there.
At ten o'clock in the morning, she is practicing calligraphy in the garden, and Lily comes. When seeing her, Karin is quite surprised, because it is the first time Lily comes here since Karin moved into Ziteng Garden.
"Sister Lily, you are my unexpected guest.”
She greets her with a grin.
"Well, I wanted to come here for several times, but I was afraid of missing my mother, so I resisted the idea of coming here."
Seeing her writing, Lily asks casually, "Do you have no classes at school?"
"Yes, the important courses have already been over. Now most of my classmates are busy at finding jobs. It doesn't matter whether we go to class or not."
"Oh, that's great."
"Why?" She puzzles.
"I'm feeling very depressed recently. I want to go out to relax, but I feel bored when traveling alone, so I want you to accompany me."
"Traveling?"
Karin is a little reluctant, "Where do you want to go? How long will it take? "
"How about going to Brazil first, then Las Vegas, and finally Korea?"
"Are we going to so many places?"
Her eyes widen in shock. How long will it take to go to three countries? God knows, she doesn't want to leave Troy at all.
"Yeah, just go around when you’re still young. Don't wait until you get old, you won't be able to go even if you want to travel at that time."
"Then can't you let your boyfriend go with you?"
Lily snorts coldly, "It is because of him that I have the idea of traveling."
"What about your besties or your friends?"
"I don't want to go with them. I just want to go with you. Don't you want to accompany me?"
Karin scratches her head, "It's not that I don't want to accompany you, but I'm afraid that Troy may not agree because it takes too much time."
"It's okay. You can discuss it with him. If you say you will go with me, he will definitely agree."
Lily lowers her voice and says triumphantly, "My brother Troy has the best relationship with me."
"Well, I will ask him when he comes back tonight."
"Okay. It's decided then. If he agrees, you have to accompany me."
“Okay.”
In the evening, Troy returns to Ziteng Garden early. Karin stares at his expression carefully, trying to see whether he has gained anything from going to the nursing home last night.
"Is there something on my face?"
At dinner, he asks faintly.
"No, you look haggard. Troie, are you too tired?"
"No, it may be because I stayed up late last night."
"Then did you get anything last night?"
He shakes his head, and she stops asking.
"By the way, Sis Lily came to see me today."
“Um.”
"Don't you ask me why she came here?"
“Why?”
"She asked me to travel with her, what should I do?"
Troy raises his head and says calmly, "You can go with her."
"Don't you object to it?"
Karin feels a little frustrated in her heart. Wouldn't he even feel upset because he can't see her?
"Travel is a good thing, why should I oppose it? Besides, I also hope you can go out and relax."
She curls her lips and rolls her eyes. Suddenly, she says with a look of expectation, "Why don't you go with us? It seems that you need more relax than I do."
Troy replies and moves his gaze to the woman beside him. Then he kisses her on the forehead.
"Good journey, I will miss you."
"I will miss you more."
He holds her hand and they walk downstairs. Lily has already been waiting impatiently, she says anxiously, "Troy, I booked an early flight, you drive us to the airport, or we will fail to catch the plane.”
"But we haven't had breakfast yet."
Karin is a little depressed. She feels that Lily doesn’t seem to be traveling. Instead, she seems to rush to start a new soul.
"Gee, I'll buy something to eat on our way to the airport. Let's go."
Lily immediately picks up her luggage and walks out. Feeling helpless, Karin has no choice but to follow her.
At the airport, there are still fifteen minutes left before boarding. Lily consciously stands aside, leaving space for the two people who are reluctant to separate from each other.
She looks at them from a distance. At this moment, they look at each other with affectionate eyes, and hug each other tightly to express their endless feelings of missing. Lily is eager to experience this scene, but it is hard for her to get it.
Her man may love her, but he won't look at her with such affectionate eyes. He may spoil her, but he won't show sadness because of not seeing her. But she loves her man no less than any woman.
"Troie, you talk to Lily later and let her come back earlier. Without you by my side, I will feel time hangs heavy."
“Okay.”
He nods and strokes her hair gently with his palm. He is really gentle and she is really happy.
"Even if I'm not in Ziteng Garden, you have to go home on time every day, and you are not allowed to spend the night elsewhere."
“Okay.”
The airport hall begins to broadcast boarding tips. She throws herself into his arms, buries her face in his chest, and finally says, "No matter how busy you are, you have to call me every day. I'll turn on the phone 24 hours a day and wait for you."
“Okay.”
After Troy finishes speaking, Lily walks over, "It's time for security check. Let's go."
She takes Karin's hand and they walk to the ticket gate. Karin keeps looking back, when she watches her beloved man getting further and further away from her, her heart feels inexplicably uneasy.
Happiness makes her feel warm and safe, but she has a panic like walking on thin ice, as if happiness will disappear at any time.
