Looking at the convenience store that ran twenty-four hours, Stella said, “I want to get a bottle of water. Do you want one as well?”

“No, thanks. I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Okay. I’ll be right back.”

Then Stella trotted towards the store.

After she came out, she saw Clarence standing on the roadside and looking ahead, lost in thought. His figure looked aloof and proud.

She enjoyed looking at him for a moment before gradually going over.

Feeling her approach, Clarence came back to his senses and said, “Let’s go.”

Stella asked, “Are you sleepy?”

Before he answered, she continued, “If you are not sleepy, let’s have a walk nearby. I’ve overeaten just now. I want to digest.”

Clarence hummed in a low voice. He walked forward steadily.

Stella walked next to him and asked, “Last time you promised to take me on a trip after finishing your work this month. Is it for real?”

“Yes.”

“I can make time for it. Where do you want to go?” asked Stella.

Clarence faintly smiled, “I’m fine with anywhere. It’s up to you.”

Stella said, “Okay, I’ll choose a destination at random then. You can’t be too picky later.”

“When have I been picky on you?”

Upon hearing it, Stella felt a bit weird.

Amusement increased in Clarence’s eyes. He grabbed her hand and gripped it tightly, “I can go wherever you want to go.”

“Then... How long will it take you to finish your work?”

“A week or so.”

Stella nodded slightly, “I see.”

There were nearly no cars on the street at this time. They were walking on the street hand-in-hand, the light of the street lamps elongating their shadows gradually.
