Lin Qingping's last day on the island was spent peacefully without any wind or waves.

At noon, I had lunch with Old Chen and Lei Sufang's family. In the evening, Gu Juncheng came back and bought some food from the canteen. Lin Qingping didn't cook anymore, and the three of them ate quietly.

If Zhiyuan hadn't started talking at the end, the three of them would probably have continued eating quietly until the end, and then each went to take a shower and go to bed quietly.

But Zhiyuan said, "Dad Gu, we will go back tomorrow!"

"Yeah." Gu Juncheng lowered his head to eat, swallowed it, and said, "I will take you to the ship tomorrow. Be careful on the ship and don't run around, lest you fall into the sea. If you take the train, remember to take out your thick clothes. It's hot here, and it will get colder the further north you go. I will prepare dry food for you, but don't be stingy. Buy whatever you want to eat. Don't think the food on the train is expensive..."

"That's enough." Lin Qingping put down his chopsticks. "You keep nagging like an old man!"

Gu Juncheng shut up, thought for a while, and continued to eat.

Lin Qingping got up and went back to her room to pack her things.

The same bag I brought with me when I left was the same bag I brought with me when I came. This was what Lin Qingping had originally thought, but when she was packing her luggage, she found a pearl necklace in her bag.

The pearls are of uniform size and are white and lustrous.

Lin Qingping put the necklace aside and continued packing.

After cleaning up, Gu Juncheng and Zhiyuan outside also cleaned the table and washed the dishes.

Lin Qingping took Huanxi's clothes and went to take a bath.

The bathroom that was surrounded by a curtain was finally made of bricks thanks to the joint efforts of the father and son. However, they still could only use hot water for washing.

Anyway, in the past few days, this empty house has changed a bit.

After taking a shower, Lin Qingping went back to her room and went to sleep. Knowing that nothing would happen, she did not expect anything and turned off the lights early.

The nights on the island are indeed monotonous. There is nothing to do except sleeping.

The next day, Gu Juncheng sent them on board.

The three of them walked to the port. Zhiyuan, who was small, jumped directly onto the boat without even saying "Goodbye, Dad Gu", as if he had left the time of farewell to them.

Gu Juncheng was behind, trying to hold Lin Qingping's hand, but he failed because Lin Qingping had also boarded the boat.

Staring at Lin Qingping's back, he followed with his luggage.

"Lin Qingping." He called in a low voice.

Lin Qingping turned around and stared at him, waiting for him to say the next words.

However, he looked at her deeply and only said, "Take care."

Lin Qingping chuckled, "Okay."

After saying that, she snatched the luggage from his hands and walked away quickly.

The whistle sounded, and Gu Juncheng was about to get off the boat. Zhiyuan looked at Lin Qingping who was striding towards him and Gu Juncheng who was looking at him from afar behind. At such a young age, he shook his head and sighed.

The way back was much faster and more boring than the way there. Even Zhiyuan was silent.

When he came, he was so excited and curious, like a sparrow, with endless questions and insatiable curiosity. When he left, he was left with his chin in his hand, thinking...

The temperature dropped as they headed north. After they put on their cotton coats again and sat for a few stops, they finally returned to the capital.

The capital's Spring Festival holiday has just ended, and the busy scene of traffic has returned to its former self. Looking at people going to work on the streets in a hurry on their bicycles, the sound of car horns one after another, and the bus ticket aunt's shouting like firecrackers, crisp and loud, it makes people feel as if they are in another world.

"Let's go, get in the car." Lin Qingping didn't say anything. He called Zhiyuan, got in a taxi, and went straight home.
