Yun Mo and Qiaoqiao, following Shanshan and Chen Ziqian's example, left only a note for their family, took half a day to pack for the Primitive Forest, and then set off without further ado.
When Qiao Shiwen found the note in the villa at Oriental Pearl, he didn't immediately notify his grandchildren. On the contrary, he thought his daughter and son-in-law's decision was good—being able to embark on a spontaneous journey in middle age made him envious.
He sat alone in the wicker chair in the sunroom, soaking up the autumn sun, carefully placing the small note in his bag. He then picked up the photo of Yuan Meili beside him. The image portrayed Yuan Meili's appearance in her fifties, where wrinkles were not so evident, looking quite charming. As for him, he had reached the age of sixty, his face covered with wrinkles and age spots, his hair frosty white.
