In the stifling stillness, even the ticking of the second hand sounded deafening. Ye Jinglang’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice before he broke the suffocating silence. “Have you really made up your mind?”

Xu Ruoke paused, then nodded. “Yes. I’ve made up my mind.”

Ye Jinglang’s gaze fell on her face again, lingering there for a moment. “All right,” he said quietly. “Then let’s get married.”

A month later, they flew to San Francisco to register their marriage. Xu Ruoke had traveled across the ocean for years without a hitch, but an hour before the plane was due to land that day, her ears suddenly began to throb with pain, as if a fine needle were stabbing her eardrums over and over.

The flight attendant hurriedly showed her how to open and close her mouth to adjust the pressure, but the pain did not ease at all. Her entire head throbbed until the plane touched down.

At the time, she didn’t understand that “heaven sends signs for a reason.” She thought it was just a random discomfort and joked that she had “let the team down at a crucial moment.”

Later, standing at the point where their relationship was about to fall apart, she looked back and finally realized it had been fate’s warning.
