Chapter 1186: Chapter 1213: Is This a Beautiful Dream? (5)

They actually have many shared memories.

This feeling is undoubtedly both pleasant and surprising.

Unconsciously—

Tong Tong was not as reserved as before, she began to talk more, her smile lingering on her face.

At five in the afternoon, Camden River took Tong Tong home.

Since he was already there, it would naturally be impolite to pass by the door without entering, so he accompanied Tong Tong to her home and stayed for a while, about ten minutes or so, when Mila Davis informed them that dinner was being prepared and cordially invited him to stay for dinner before going home.

Camden River found it hard to refuse, so he agreed.

Since dinner was just beginning to be prepared, it would naturally take a while. Tong Tong and Camden River went out again, strolling leisurely.

The Turner Family villa is in the most expensive residential area of Riverside, surrounded by cultural and scenic tourist spots. There weren’t many people around during the week. The two of them wandered through the pedestrian street and across a large fountain square, and before they knew it, they arrived at the bus stop.

Tong Tong stared blankly at the bus stop sign.

After more than seven years, the bus stop sign had been renovated several times, but the location remained unchanged.

"What’s up?" Seeing her dazed, Camden River lowered his gaze and asked.

"School." Tong Tong pointed out, turning her head towards him, "It seems the route for Line 14 has changed; it passes by our school now."

Camden River looked carefully and smiled, "Yes."

Tong Tong hesitated, pursing her lips.

Camden River thought for a moment and proactively asked, "Do you want to go?"

"Yes." Tong Tong didn’t look at him, her gaze still on the bus stop sign, she said with a gentle smile, "I haven’t visited the school since I graduated, and I suddenly feel like going. Are you... um, are you free?"

Camden River didn’t actually have much going on.

The return trip was just for relaxation.

He thought for a brief moment and suggested, "Your mother is preparing dinner. How about you call and tell her?"

"Would you be willing to accompany me to the school?" Tong Tong hesitated to confirm once more.

Camden River shrugged, "Anyway, there’s nothing else to do."

"Okay, then I’ll go call my mom." As Tong Tong finished speaking, she smiled, picked up her phone, and went off to the side to make a phone call. Soon after the call, she exchanged change at a nearby convenience pavilion and returned.

The two of them waited for the bus at the stop.

It was a coincidence that this was during rush hour, especially since it was Friday. When the Line 14 bus arrived, it was already packed with people.

Camden River hadn’t anticipated the crowd. Just as he was thinking of suggesting to visit the school tomorrow, he looked up to find Tong Tong had already boarded the bus after inserting coins. He was momentarily stunned, hurrying to catch up, squeezing in with little regard for appearances.

Tong Tong stopped at a spot with a bit of space.

Camden River held onto the handrail as he approached, standing right in front of her, holding onto a strap with one hand and gripping the top of a seat with the other, with his back facing outward, effectively keeping her protected in front of him.

The two were close yet not intimate.

Camden River managed the distance very well, keeping it at that comfortable range typical of friends in social settings.

Tong Tong was shorter than him, about a head and more below him.

Looking up, she could see his sharply defined face.

Camden River’s appearance hadn’t changed much, but his demeanor certainly had. There was a stubble shadow on his chin now, making his jawline appear sharper and tougher—he was becoming a mature man.

Moreover—

He was her husband now.

So near yet so far.

Even in the crowded and noisy environment of the bus, she still felt unreal.
