The next day at noon, Shen Jianian boarded the flight to Beicheng alone, a decision made after discussion between the two.
With Zhou Ruo alone in the hospital, even though there's a caregiver present, it's still not quite ideal; however, not both of them were needed, hence Shen Jianian followed the original plan to Beicheng.
Without Pei Che by her side, Shen Jianian decided not to stay at the Pei family's villa. Before boarding, she searched for hotels near the Grand Theater on her phone and booked a room with a double bed.
At 2:05 p.m., the plane landed on time at Beicheng Airport.
Shen Jianian brought very few things, only two sets of clothes for change and some travel-sized skincare products, thus saving waiting time for luggage; she left the airport directly and took a taxi to the hotel.
Having only eaten some snacks on the plane, Shen Jianian was a bit hungry after arriving at the hotel. She ordered takeout, and right after she finished bathing, it arrived.
