Date of Return

1. Read in chapter order, noting how the appearances of the dog and cat drive the couple's dialogue and emotional turning points.
2. When reading the exchanges between Zhou Yanchi and Du Ruoheng, look back at earlier passages to compare shifts in tone and sense the layers of the relationship warming up.
3. Best read in segments before bed or during commutes; there is no need to finish in one sitting—leave room to savor the everyday details.
