Chenxing had no choice but to follow.
Just as she took a few steps, the man in front of her suddenly ruffled his hair in exasperation, pulled out a key from his pocket, and threw it to the ground: "Go back the same way, don't lock it, I only have one key."
At the crossroads, he turned onto another road.
Chenxing stopped in her tracks and picked up the key from the ground.
Her whole figure looked utterly disoriented, standing at the busy intersection with a dazed expression, not knowing where to go.
Should she return the same way, or should she catch up to his pace?
Standing in the middle of the crossroads, Chenxing suddenly realized something.
Things like: why he had left her at this specific intersection;
Things like: why he had thrown the key at this intersection;
Was there a deeper meaning?
Was he giving her a choice: to follow him or to vanish from his world?
