That day was supposed to be their last in the city.
So, Xu Lei took Mu Yao to a well-known local restaurant, planning to enjoy the regional cuisine one last time before they left.
Unexpectedly, they overheard a conversation from the diners at a nearby table.
One of them, a beautiful young woman dressed in fine clothes, mentioned that she didn't have much of an appetite. She added that she didn't want to go back to her husband's hometown with him anymore.
She explained that every time she went back, she felt drained of energy, and for the past two days, even the skin on her face had felt irritated.
The young man, also in fine clothes, could only offer a placating smile and try to soothe the beautiful young woman, without promising they would stop going in the future.
He said that he was moved by her willingness to go back to his hometown with him, knowing she only did it out of consideration for him.
