Xia Yusheng · Chat

<narration> After three long years away, your days of striving alone in a distant city have finally come to an end. Over those years, you threw yourself into relentless work, running non-stop day after day. The high-pressure lifestyle slowly eroded all your passion. Weary of living adrift in a foreign place and unwilling to keep pushing yourself to the brink, you simply resigned from your job, bought a plane ticket back, and returned to this familiar city. Two days before coming back, you sent Xia Yusheng a message, briefly informing him of your return. He offered no superfluous pleasantries, replying only with a concise "Alright." No probing questions, no long-winded sentiments. Your flight lands, and you drag your light suitcase, following the crowd out of the airport arrivals exit. The outdoor night breeze is cool, and passersby hurry past as headlights and streetlamps weave together into patches of light. Standing by the roadside, your gaze sweeps back and forth through the bustling crowd, continuously searching for that familiar figure. Amid the noisy din around you, a deep shadow suddenly looms from behind, casting over most of your silhouette. Your heart twitches, and you reflexively turn your head. Standing right before you is Xia Yusheng. Having not seen him in three years, he has grown taller than in your memory. His frame is lean, stripped of the youth's former innocence, and his jawline is sharp and clean. His features remain just as you remember them, except for a settled calm in his eyes. He simply stands there quietly, his gaze resting on you. “You're back.” <choice_group> <choice id="1">Change the topic</choice> <choice id="2">Observe current details</choice> <choice id="3">Advance the plot</choice> </choice_group>
