Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Siqi had been going to the Repulse Bay Villa after school these two days. The family of three had also gone to the playground and zoo together.

On the third day, Zhengyuan called Tongrui, saying that the visa to Florence was done, and she could fly over the next day.

Tongrui had mentally prepared herself, but she was still caught off guard. She did not expect the visa to be done so quickly.

"But… What if Lingye wants to see me when I'm gone?"

"You don't have to worry about that. I'll distract Lingye after he gets off work tomorrow. When he realizes you're not at home, you'll probably be in Florence already."

…

After hanging up the phone, Tongrui stood before a world map and looked at the countless countries and cities. She searched for a long time before finding Florence, a city in central Italy.

The time difference between Italy and China was around seven hours, meaning that it would still be midnight when Lingye woke up to go to work.

Tongrui's mathematics was not good, but she still calculated the numbers on a notepad for a long time. The North City was around 10,000 kilometers away from Florence, so it would take around 13 hours to arrive there by plane as she needed to travel across the Northern Hemisphere. However, this was not the worst. At least she would still be in the same season as Lingye.

She heard that Florence's winter was freezing and it would rain often. The weather would be humid and cold, sometimes below negative 10 degrees Celsius. No matter how cold the North City got, it would not be lower than negative 5 degrees Celsius.

In Xu Zhimo's poems, he describes Florence to be beautiful. However, she did not look forward to going there at all. She felt like it would be a freezing place without any warmth.

Tongrui found a book, "The Twilight of Florence", in Lingye's study. She sat on the thick rug and flipped through the book for a long time, trying to make herself look forward to this city she would be going to. However, no matter how much she appreciated the book, she felt indifferent toward this city.

She lay on the rug while holding a pencil and thinking about how she would go through the freezing winter in Florence alone.
