A strong miss (China)

By the lake, I was talking about something trivial - caravans on the ancient Silk Road. Cute Li Yun turned to you and said she would miss you. I could have replied likewise. But I didn’t.

Cute Li Yun categorised missing” into levels. A normal miss” was for times when we were in the same city but couldn’t meet for a day or two. A strong miss” applied when I was away for a few days. Now, after months without seeing cute Li Yun, I find myself experiencing the highest intensity of missing - crying miss.”
