The next day, Xiao Linye went to the other side of Nanjia Peak. He said he had a flight to Upper City that night and wouldn't be back by noon.
Ye Yuning managed a quick bite and then packed up all of Xiao Linye's things.
As she opened the empty suitcase, she heard a POP, and something fell to the floor. She bent down to pick it up.
It was a copper lid, punctured and strung with a black thread, as if preserved deliberately.
Holding it in her hand, Ye Yuning took a closer look. It seems to be a pocket watch lid?
Based on the material, the pocket watch itself looked quite old. Such aged items...
Suddenly, a familiar image flashed through Ye Yuning's mind. Had she seen a lidless pocket watch at the Ye family's home?
Holding it in her hand for a closer look, she wasn't sure if it was the same one. But in terms of color, it seemed quite similar.
When Xiao Linye returned, Ye Yuning had nearly finished packing all the luggage, including his.
