The defense was crucial for her smooth graduation, so Gu Qili took time off for the first time from Liu Zhining, even though the restaurant opening was imminent. But Liu Zhining was not an unreasonable man; knowing she had to attend the graduation defense, he readily gave her two days off.
After asking for time off, Gu Qili excitedly started to text Mu Shuoqian, but halfway through drafting her message, she suddenly deleted it all.
In more than half a month since they had seen each other, she really missed him to death. Although they exchanged messages and calls daily, and when he wasn't busy, they would also be affectionate over video, the comfort provided through phone lines and screens couldn't quench her immediate longing. She wanted to see him, and it would be best if she could sprout wings and fly directly to his side.
Gu Qili quickly packed her luggage and booked the earliest flight back to Aus City.
