That day, Yan Xixi kept drinking water, kept sweating, and kept going to the restroom... By the next day, sure enough, she felt much relieved.
Only, she still had no strength.
In a trance, she walked to the door, vaguely thinking she was still in the small house over a hundred miles away. She opened her mouth, about to habitually call out, but swallowed it back forcefully.
No, no, no, things have changed, it’s different now.
Mrs. Yang laid out some porridge and pickles, politely saying, "Miss Yan, just let me know if there’s anything you’d like to eat."
She held her bowl and chopsticks, feeling utterly bewildered.
Mrs. Yang asked, "Would you like a bowl of hot soup? It’s very light."
She shook her head, slowly putting down the bowl and chopsticks.
"Miss Yan, when you go back, you surely plan to get married soon, right?"
She replied very straightforwardly, "That’s right, he has proposed to me multiple times."
"Isn’t that great? These days, a man who proposes on his own is a responsible good man."
Maybe that’s true.
People say, those outside the walls want to rush inside, and those inside want to rush out. Modern people are all shrewd, especially men, what’s so good about marriage? Other than responsibilities and nagging, what else is there? Being a Golden Bachelor is wonderful, changing beautiful women one after another, just enjoying the pleasures of romance without the obligations of marriage.
Ultimately, proposing is the greatest form of respect.
"Mrs. Yang, could you please book me a plane ticket?"
Mrs. Yang was quite surprised but immediately replied, "No problem. But, for which day?"
"As soon as possible. Today if possible, if not, then the earliest flight tomorrow..."
Clearly, Mrs. Yang did not understand why she was suddenly in such a hurry to rush back, but she was never one to speak much. So, she said nothing, just got up immediately: "Alright, I’ll book it right away."
Yan Xixi herself did not know why at this moment she suddenly longed to return home like an arrow.
Is it because she’s too lonely here?
Is it because she’s left her familiar world for too long?
Is it because she’s too eager to see certain people she wants to see?
"Brawny fellow, you don’t need to surprise me, for I will give you a huge surprise. Just wait until you open the door and see me at first glance, huh, I’ll make sure you’re dumbfounded."
She thought of something amusing and laughed out loud to herself.
Indeed, I’ve been too dependent on others, frequently venting various minor princess-like ailments. We’re all adults now, why not boldly do what needs to be done? Is it fun to be lamenting all the time?
A short while later, Mrs. Yang came out: "Miss Yan, there are no first-class seats available for today, so I booked the earliest flight tomorrow. I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow..."
She felt a bit disappointed: "Can’t go today? If not, I’ll take economy class..."
"I asked about economy class too, there aren’t any seats either."
"Really strange, why is it suddenly full?"
"I’m not sure, maybe this route always has a high passenger volume?"
Yan Xixi grumbled, suddenly feeling that time was passing very slowly. It wasn’t even noon yet, how could she endure waiting until tomorrow?
She had a sudden thought: "Right, don’t tell Mr. Wang about this, or anyone else. I want to surprise him..."
Mrs. Yang smiled: "Alright, I promise to keep it a secret."
She winked slyly: "I’m planning a sneak attack, to see if he’s been up to any mischief behind my back."
(That’s it for today. The most important plot of this book is about to unfold... stay tuned.)
